Am 

C	G		   Am
How I waited back on the corner
    C		    G		   Am
For you to make me see straight again
    C	   G		        Am
I could steal your heart in pictures
	C	    G		    Am
But I don't think you're getting better

F     C				G
You swore that you'd be alright but you're not
F     C  		Am		 G
You swore that you'd be fine but you're not
C         G           	Am	  G	 C
I'm sorry about it, just tired of wasting time

Am

C		G		Am
And I killed another one tonight
C	 G		  Am
I can't stop myself from crying
C	 G		Am
I killed another girl tonight
C	    G		   Am
I just cant help myself anymore

F     C	                Am              G            
Your dad swore you would be fine, but he lied
F	C		Am		G
Your mom said stop calling nights, leave sometimes
F	  C		 Am		G
And your grace never looked as good as it does in the daylight
Am  	G 		 C
And Im tired of wasting time

Am

C      G	Am
Its October the 22nd now
C	   G		     Am
Its been three weeks since I saw you
C	G	 Am
Its October the 22nd now
C         G		  Am
Its been three years since you left me
C        G	 Am
For the road and him, oh him

F     C			    Am		    G
Your dad swore you would be fine but god he lies
F     C			    Am		    G
Your mom said stop calling nights Andy, at least sometimes
F     C				Am		G
Your grace never looked this good this morning in daylight, god
Am	G	C 
I'm tired of wasting time
Am	G	C
on a body that has no life
Am	G	C
On rhythm that has no rhyme
Am
Tonight
