Baltimore

	  		

Tomorrow, I am leaving for Baltimore 

You think I act like Harry Potter, like you're Voldemort 

I don't care what you said, you didn't mean it like I did 

Don't even start 

With me 
                                 G             C 
Turn up the heat, turn up the heat 
D                  C 
Please get out the kitchen 
            G     C       D        C                G        C 
You're like vegan cheese: try as I might, you never melt for me 
   D            C                  G C D C x2 
It wasn't quite as funny at the time. 
        G   C                 D           C 
Now in ten minutes, I will be ten minutes away 
         G          C                     D                   C 
Part of me thinks I should go back to the folk-punk house and stay 
     G                C 
Everybody was so nice there 
           D             C                     G       C   D   C 
There were lots of heavy things that stayed in place 
      G                  C 
And I wish that this was more like that 
    D                  C              G 
But when you feel held back, you slip away 
                C             D              C 
And really, I get that, 'cause sometimes I also feel that way 
        G               C       
But I'm older now and I know this now 
       D                         C                 G 
It's a game, it's a game, it's a game, and I can't play 
C      D C G C D C 
Hey hey 

(Palm mute) 
         G                           B 
'Cause I shoot for the impossible knowing that it won't come 
        C                                  D 
And you think I would know better now that I am twenty-one 
          G              
I've been bored, I've been so bored 
             B                                  C          D 
And I've been numb and dumb and I'm still pretty young. 



             G              C              D              C 
Besides, I'm really getting so adept at preventing my own happiness 
   G               C               D                 C 
Complacency breeds latency in that space it sits deep in my chest 
        G                  C                     D                  C 
And the thing that beats beneath your breast has been at rest but I try my best 
   G                   C                   D                     C              
To see how close I can get to it, 'cause I get productive when I get upset 
G C D C x2 
Hey 
           G      C                   D        C 
So now, in ten minutes, I will be ten minutes away 
        G                  C                    D              C 
Part of me thinks I should leave right now, but I sit back and stay 
          G                   C 
I've been bored, I've been so bored 
              D             C             G   C   D   C       (Countinue Chords)    
And I've been looking for a little bit of heartache
