C   Em   Bm   C 


 
C                    Em                   Bm             C 
 Something 'bout the window seats got you feeling like a poet 
                             Em              Bm                    C 
You said I think that we had everything but 'til now, just didn't know it 
                      Em                   Bm          C 
I'm leaning towards a subject change in a sentimental moment 
                           Em                     Bm               C 
We're driving through the Garden State, we'll be strangers in the morning 
 

 
C                         Em                         Bm            C 
 The way you've got your hair up straight makes you look real Californian 
                           Em                        Bm             C 
You know you never really could quite place when I'm angry and I'm joking 
                  Em                Bm                 C 
I'm cursing every exit sign and my damn Christ-like devotion 
                     Em                       Bm             C 
To hoping you might change your mind, and to hating you for going 
 

 
          Am                Em 
Roadkill fawn, you said how sad 
        Bm              C 
Left to rot alone like that 
             Am             Em 
You state a feeling like a fact 
              Bm              C 
I'm glad you left, but you'll be back 
 

 
    G                       C 
So call me when it goes to shit 
                     G                C 
I'll be keeping the house the way it was 
         G            C 
I won't rub your face in it 
           Em        D   C 
I swear I won't tell anyone 

         G                    C 
I don't mind being your dead end 
            G                 C 
Think it's fine to never move on 
         G             C 
Keep my ear up to the door-frame 

               Em               D   C 
And I'll keep rooting for your downfall 
               Em               D   C

 C                Em                 Bm                    C 
Call me when the bugs don't die and spring looks just like autumn 
                     Em                    Bm           C 
Oh tell me when you miss the climb from a hole that has no bottom 
                     Em                        Bm                           C 
I'm hoping that the view ain't nice, that the streetlights bleed into your bedroom 
                     Em                     Bm            C 
That you open up to someone kind, and they hold it all against you 
 

 
          Am                Em 
Roadkill fawn, you said how sad 
        Bm              C 
Left to rot alone like that 
             Am             Em 
You state a feeling like a fact 
              Bm              C 
I'm glad you left, but you'll be back

         G             C
