E        G#m              C#m 
  Cut me loose in mid-September 
      C#m       C5+ 
I was out of my element 
E        G#m                 C#m 
  Started building up these walls 
             C#m     C5+ 
Keeping everybody outside of them 
C#m           E                  G#m  B 
    Bare hands holding on to the wire

E       G#m                 C#m 
  Weeks pass, the Earth is turning 
             C#m           C5+ 
Things start swimming into focus 
E                          G#m                C#m 
  And now I'm rolling your words through my cheeks 
       C#m           C5+ 
Like a mouth full of poison 
C#m            E                G#m  B 
    I watch it all go up in the fire

  You were feeling lonely, and you called me 
       E 
Hoping I'd be home 
A                                  E 
  You're like a bad trip or a sick habit 
            E 
I should've left it alone 
A                                   E 
  You were feeling lonely, takin' advantage 
          E 
Knowing I wouldn't say no 
C#m               E                 G#m     B 
    You're just a bad trip, I can't help it, oh

  Wake up alone, now it's December 
        C#m      C5+    E 
There's snow out in the yard 
            G#m                C#m 
A cold wind cutting through my jacket 
           C#m    B 
As I drift up the boulevard 
E               G#m             C#m 
  That sinking feeling creeping in again 
    C#m   C5+    E 
No matter what I try 
              G#m            C#m 
And I'm just waiting for a signal 
           C#m   C5+ 
I'm just staring down at my

  Bare hands holding on to the wire 
A                                  E 
  Good lord, I'm worn out, and I'm always tired 
C#m           E                   G#m 
    Bare hands holding on to the wire 
        B 
And I'm always tired
