[Intro 1]
[C][Am][C][Am]

[Verse 1]
[C]Usually the city
she is my [Am]only friend,
she is all I need,
and the street[F]lights and the people,
the busy roads and cobblestones
are the [G]company I keep

[Verse 2]
And that's just [C]fine with me,
I'm not losing sleep
over what [Am]could have been
in a time I didn't know what
I was med[F]dling with,
in the time I knew you.
[G]

[Verse 3]
And [Dm]you, you got complacent
And you [Am]started replacing the thing[G]s
that we had with the [Dm]thing
s you thought you wanted
And [F]we, we were misshapen
[Am]and fraying at the edges.
I [G]prayed that I could keep you,
you were [Dm]gone before I ever
really [F]got you boy.

[Verse 4]
And [C]usually the memories rest on the [Am]periphery,
[Asus4]
[Am]Absolutely and exactly
where I [F]mean them to,
and I scarcely even [G]think of you.

[Verse 5]
Oh, but occa[C]sionally they come
crashing through,
[Am]Overpower me.
Then I can [F]scarcely breathe,
Vivid and violent as you [G]are.[F]
[Dm]And you,

[Verse 6]
you got complacent
And you [Am]started replacing the thing[G]s
that we had with the [Dm]thing
s you thought you wanted
And [F]we, we were misshapen
[Am]and fraying at the edges.
I [G]prayed that I could keep you,
you were [Dm]gone before I ever
really [F]got you boy.

[Verse 7]
And [F]occasion[Dm] all[Am]y
you [G]didn't toy with me
[C]And [Dm]occasionally
you didn't lie to me
Oh but [F]usually [Am]you
were us[G]ing me
Oh and usually you made a [F]fool of me

[Verse 8]
And you, you got complacent And [Am]you
started replacing the thing[G]s
that we had with the [Dm]thing
s you thought you wanted
And [F]we, we were misshapen
and fray[Am]ing at the edges.
I [G]prayed that I could keep you,
you were [Dm]gone before I ever
[F]really got you [Am]boy.
All you [G]did was leave me suffer all I [Dm]ever
meant to do was bring you [F]joy.
