it’s been two and one quarter weeks 
since the week I was first gone 
               Dbm
it’s not that long
                E
its not that long
and when I get to you, 
make everything alright 
don’t want to have to fight 
to hold you late at night 
              Dbm
but I just might
       E
I just might
now the voices in my head are loud 
    Dbm
I’ve said too much 
can’t face this crowd 
   B
I cannot put the words back 
                 E
in my mouth
how I hoped that you 
would understand 
        Dbm
when it comes from you 
it’s twice as bad 
             B
you’re the worst I ever had 
got the worst I ever had

I’ve spent alone 
   Dbm
in front of you 
  B
I should have known 
    F#
the things we pay 
  A                     E
to get back what we own

E

it will be at least another week 
until I make it back to you 
           Dbm
and if I do 
    E
if I do
we can fashion a rope 
from all of my regrets 
how I saw you 
in every person that I met 
              Dbm
I’ll let you tie me to the bed 
           E
to the bed
‘cause I’m not as strong 
as I am scared 
    Dbm
I’ll sit for you 
in the wooden chair 
              B
you don’t have to hold me down 
                              E
I’ll help you cut my hair myself 
Dbm      A
out of you, 
Dbm      B
