Intro: F#m E D A (x3)  

            F#m                  E                   D                  A 
Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room 
              F#m                    E                     A 
So when I'll wake up I'll be like "Yeah, everything's all right" 
              F#m                   E 
You are still here, you are still happy. 
               D                A 
You are still smiling and laughing. 
                  F#m             E                       A 
You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life 
            A        E 
And it goes in, in, out through the mouth 
 F#m                         E 
Breathing exercises I will never figure out 
         A 
So I am running in circles or 
 E 
Walking in circles or 
 F#m 
Crawling in circles or 
 E               D 
Lying on the ground. 

    Bm 
And I 
                    E                     A 
Can hear your dog whistle from my bedroom. 
  D 
Yeah, yeah 
    Bm 
And I 
                       E 
Can see a flashlight cuttin' 
                        A 
Up the trees behind my house. 
      D 
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. 


F#m E D A 
F#m E A A 
(X2) 

                       F#m               E 
She says a lot of the kids we graduated with are now homeless 
            D                                 A 
Which puts them in mad shady situations with mad shady people 
  F#m             E                          A 
If not everyday, then on an every other day basis 
                          F#m               E 
And she's probably with a few of them right now 
                             D                   A 
And they are probably just drinking and talking about 
                         F#m          E            A 
How she misses gettin' fucked up and hangin' around 
             F#m                                      E            D 
And he says "Hey, you're good at that" and she says "Thanks. It's kind of 
       A                         F#m                  E          A 
All I got, " and then she looks away and says, "It's also all I need" 
           A             E 
And I can smell plastic burning, 
              F#m               E 
I can smell chemicals breaking down 
            A           E 
I got your last three emails, 
                   F#m 
The ones where you said, 
        E                   D 
"I was sorting some things out" 
    Bm                               E                 A 
And he will be able to hear her dog whistle from his bedroom 
  D 
Yeah yeah. 
    Bm 
And I 
                      E 
Can see a flashlight cuttin' 
                        A 
Up the trees behind my house. 
  D 
Yeah yeah. 
    Bm 
And I will read the flashing 
        D 
Like a Morse code explanation 
                    A 
Though it'll mean nothing 

But take all night to figure out, out, out 


F#m E D A 
F#m E A A 

     F#m       E              D                  A 
I am sad, I am sad. And I am happy, oh God, I'm happy 
(Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room) 
               F#m           E              A 
There's just no place in between for us to meet 
(So when I'll wake up I'll be like yeah everything's all right.) 
         F#m        E                  D                  A 
But I am sad, I am sad, but when I am happy, oh God, I'm happy 
(You are still here, you are still happy. You are still smiling and 
Laughing) 
                F#m           E             A 
There's just no place in between for us to meet 
(You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life.) 
          F#m               E                  D           A 
When I am sad, oh God, I'm sad, but when I'm happy, I am happy 
(Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room) 
                   F#m           E              A  
And there's just no place in between for us to meet 
(So when I'll wake up I'll be like, "Yeah, everything's all right") 
          F#m               E                 D            A 
When I am sad, oh God, I'm sad, but when I'm happy, I am happy 
(You are still here, you are still happy. You are still smiling and 
Laughing.) 
                     F#m          E             A 
And there's just no place in between for us to meet
