[Verse 1]
          Eb
Would you hold it against me if
           Bb
I say that I’ve been missing you
                 Eb
lately? Do you remember when we
                     Bb
sat outside my house watched stars
cascade turning into something else?
Eb                 Gm
You said you would travel I said
            Eb
you should. You said you would
Gm
travel I knew you would.
    Eb
It’s not the first
                    Bb Bb
time I felt this way.


[Chorus 1]
Eb          Gm
  I will be better for this
  F
I will and from our time spent
alone we’ll have stories to
Eb             Gm
tell I will be better for this
  F          Eb
I will I will  Go talk to your
Gm                        F
friends like I’m somebody else
like I’m the man that you need
                          Eb
when I’m the boy that you shelved
                Gm
Go talk to your friends I’m
                 F
finally somebody else
                Eb   Bb
Complacent on a shelf


[Verse 2]
        Eb
And you held it against me when
       Bb
I said everything about how
fucked up this really is
Eb
Home by 8 but you wouldn’t
             Bb
notice cause no ones around
       Eb
anymore  You moved across the
country said goodbye to your
Bb
friends and you skipped my
street Nothing but a dead end.


[Chorus 2]
Eb          Gm
  I will be better for this
  F
I will and from our time spent
alone we’ll have stories to
Eb             Gm
tell I will be better for this
  F          Eb
I will I will  Go talk to your
Gm                        F
friends like I’m somebody else
like I’m the man that you need
                          Eb
when I’m the boy that you shelved
                Gm
Go talk to your friends I’m
                 F
finally somebody else

Complacent on a shelf


[Instrumental]
Gm F Eb


[Bridge]
Gm
  I guess it’s common sense
                     F
for me to shake like this
I’ve seen weaker men learn
                 Eb
how to deal with it I guess
it’s common sense for me to
shake like this I’ve seen
weaker men learn how
to deal with it.


[Outro] 3/4 Time signature
Gm               F
  Fell asleep to faith on TV
Eb
it kept belief alive in me.
           Gm
You’re the faith healer of my
           F
dreams You leave my life so
           Eb
recklessly put the fear of
God in me and hush me back to
         Gm
sleep It never was a choice
              F
to leave it’s something I must
             Eb
do for me It never was a choice
to leave it’s something
I must do for me
   Gm
It never was a choice
              F
to leave it’s something I must
             Eb
do for me It never was a choice
to leave it’s something
I must do for me.
