Porch Light

 
 Em7                                     C 
I would ask you how you've been, it's all over the internet 
     Em7 
Oh, yeah, I mean we knew that after all 
 Em7                                       C 
If you're looking for an autopsy or a half-assed half-apology 

        Em7 
Then I think you picked the wrong time to make this call 
 

 
Em7                                C 
It is not irrelevant that you stopped 
 Em7 
But I'm giving you the benefit 'cause it's raining now 
Em7                                  C 
I'll tell you how the weather is, and I'll slip into some eloquently 
Em7 
Rambling mixed-messaging, I should shut you down  



Em7 
But you don't, and it's cold, and it's cold, and it's cold 
C 
And I don't know, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alon, I'm alone 

 
Em7                                             C 
I hope you tell m that you're winding down, that you lost the taste to face the crowd 
Em7 
That whatever made you famous made you sick 
Em7                                   C 
But you can only do what pain allows, it ain't up to you to make it out 
Em7 
And there ain't no shame in calling this thing quits 


Em7 
But you don't, and you don't, and you don't, and you don't, and you don't 
C 
You're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost 
 

 
       Em7    G            D        C 
But Your Poison Is spreadin' to my lungs 
         Em7           G        D                     C 
I ain't holdin' a breath, ain't holdin' any faith at all 
          Em7           G                 D 
And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you 
                            C 
I'll leave the porch light on 
Em7       G 
Heartbroken, each mornin' 
D                           C 
When it's me that turns it off 
 

 
Em7 
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes 
 

 
     Em7                              C 
You act like we just sit up here and wait for you to reappear 
       Em7 
But, baby, there are bills to pay and your dad's road needs salt 
       Em7                                 C 
And I try to drown out all the talk, the eyeballs in the parking lots 
      Em7 
And tell people it ain't me you want, but I guess you're my fault  


 
Em7 
But they don't, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost 
       C 
And I choke, and I choke, and I choke, and I choke on the 

 
       Em7    G            D        C 
But Your Poison Is spreadin' to my lungs 
         Em7           G        D                     C 
I ain't holdin' a breath, ain't holdin' any faith at all 
          Em7           G                 D 
And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you 
                            C 
I'll leave the porch light on 
Em7       G 
Heartbroken, each mornin' 
D                           C 
When it's me that turns it off 
 

 
Em7 
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes 
 

 
       Em7    G            D        C 
But Your Poison Is spreadin' to my lungs 
         Em7           G        D                     C 
I ain't holdin' a breath, ain't holdin' any faith at all 
          Em7           G                 D 
And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you 
                            C 
I'll leave the porch light on 
Em7       G 
Heartbroken, each mornin' 
D                           C

Em7 
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes 
C 
You're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost
