Checkmarks

Written by William Beckett/Mike Carden

	  		Intro: 
Am F G 
Am C G 

Am           F  G 
So there you are, 
Am       C G 
and here I stand 
Am             F 
As far as I remember 
      G          Am  F  G 
you weren't half bad. 
Am          C  G 
Your bedroom behavior 
Am                  F             G 
was never more then checkmarks on bedposts. 
Am      C         G          Am  F G 
For I remember we never had. 

{Pre-Chorus} 

Am 
You get me out of the rain, 
C          G 
you get me out of my clothes. 
Am 
You hope I don't make a sound, 
C          G 
you hope that nobody knows. 
Am 
You get me out of the rain, 
C          G 
you get me out of my clothes. 
Am 
You hope I don't make a sound, 
F 
you hope that no one... 

{Chorus:} 
Am 
So suck your so called pity down. 
G               F 
Hey, that's not so bad, is it? 
Am 
So take your cold, cold heart and drown 
G               F 
and don't forget to take deep breaths. 
Am 
So suck your so called pity down. 
G               F 
Hey, that's not so bad, is it? 
Am 
So take your cold, cold heart and drown 
G               F 
and don't forget to take deep breaths. 

Am           F  G 
So don't explain 
Am            C                    G 
cause I know exactly what your're going to say. 
Am            F        G 
Big words, recycled phrases, and the 
Am                     C        G 
bittersweet taste of other boys on your lips. 
Am                        F                  G 
So now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all.' 
Am                        C                  G 
So now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all. 

{PreChorus} 

{Chorus} 
Am 
Do you miss looking up from the floor 
       C 
at my face on a stage in a crowded room? 
      G 
Well it's not the same. 
F 
I bet you're still a sucker for those famous faces. 
Am 
Downtown looking down, down, looking over the crowd 
C 
I hope you're out there, look at me now. 
G 
Well it's not the same. 
F 
Just look at how we've changed. 

{Chorus}
