C5 F5
I set all my regrets on fire
G5 A5
Cause I know I'll never take the time
C5 F5
To unpack my missteps and call all of our friends
G5 A5
I figure they would take your side
(Pre Chorus)
F5 G5
I make the bed, just not that well
F5
Your name comes up a lot
F5
When I talk to my mom
G5
Oh, I think she can tell
(CHORUS)
C5
I was out on the town
A5 (F5 - F5 - Fx8 quick strums)
So I came to your window last night
C5
I tried not to throw stones
A5 (F5 - F5 - Fx8 quick strums)
But I wanted to come inside
C5 A5 (F5 - F5 - Fx8quick strums)
Now I'm causing a scene, thinking you need a reason to smile
A5 G5 F5
Oh no, what have I done?
F5 G5 A5
There's no one to keep me warm
So maybe I should put up a fight
I'll call them back and borrow a box knife
So I can learn to live with all the stupid s*** I've been doing since '99
And I know I could be more clever
And I know I could be more strong
But I'm waiting for the day you come back and say
"Hey, maybe I should change my mind"
I drink a lot
I'm not sure if that's new
But these days when I wake up from a night I forgot
I just wish that it never came true
I was out on the town
So I came to your window last night
I tried not to throw stones
But I wanted to come inside
Now I'm causing a scene, thinking you need a reason to smile
Oh no, what have I done?
There's no one to keep me warm
And I know I could be more clever
And I know I could be more strong
And I know I could be more clever
And I know I could be more clever
I knew there would come a day when all was said and done
(And I know I could be more clever)
Everything I was is everything but gone
(And I know I could be more strong)
All my big mistakes are bouncing off your wall
(And I know I could be more clever)
The bottles never break, the sorrow never comes
(And I know I could be more clever)
So come on let me in, I will be the sun
(And I know I could be more clever)
I will wake you up, I am who I was
(And I know I could be more strong)
Just open up your heart, open up your heart, open up your heart
(And I know I could be more clever
And I know I could be more)
I was out on the town
So I came to your window last night
I tried not to throw stones
But I wanted to come inside
Now I'm causing a scene, but you need a reason to smile
Oh no, what have I done?
There's no one to keep me warm
