[VERSE 1]
Gm                         F
Main street's empty in the evening chill
     Eb                  F
From courthouse tower to griffin mill
Eb                         Dm           Gm/Bb         Gm  F/A
Small signs of winter come creeping down     the hills
  Bb                 F
I saw your shadow on Jackson St.
          Cm                       Eb
where the zombie-eyed kids and the speed-queens meet
            Gm                           F                         Cm | | Eb
It's been a long time running through my veins this long lost dream


[CHORUS 1]
      F                     Gm                         Eb
And I tear it apart and burn  it all down 'cause I have  to
    Cm         F          Bb              Bb/D       Eb
God gave me permission to do what it takes    to find  you
               F                    Gm                       Eb
All the friends I betrayed all the e - nemies made in the pro - cess
      Cm               F              Bb          Bb/D            Eb
We've all done the same we're just car - rying dif  -  ferent cros - ses
                   Cm
I'm feeling no pain  baby, it's acceptable losses

[VERSE 2]
     Gm                    F
This place got dark in the years that passed
    Gm                  Eb        F
The store-front's blown;  I guess nothing lasts
    Eb                              Dm     Gm/Bb         Gm | Gm   F/A
The fighting at the bars still draw wired, vengeful crowds
  Bb                          F
I followed your trail down to Rosewood Park
       Cm                        Eb
As the shadows grow tall and the stars come out
          Gm                      F                     Cm | | Eb | |
Where the backseat lovers used to park their daddy's car


[CHORUS 2]
      F                     Gm                         Eb
And I tear it apart and burn  it all down 'cause I have  to
           Cm          F            Bb               Bb/D             Eb
Made a deal  with a man at the cross - roads who knew    where to find  you
               F                    Gm                       Eb
All the friends I betrayed all the e - nemies made in the pro - cess
    Cm                  F              Bb          Bb/D            Eb
Our pain feels the same; we're just car - rying dif  -  ferent cros - ses
                     Cm
It's all in the game,  baby, it's acceptable losses

[BRIDGE]
     Dm                     Eb
They found your car down at Suicide Bridge
          Bb6                  Gm
Where the Johnson twins became newsflash kids
      Cm                            Dm                         Eb F
But I know you so much better don't believe you'd call it quits
      Bb                         F
Now I got an old address and I'm waiting there
       Cm                            Eb
In the first light of morning at the fire stairs
      Gm                        F                  Cm | | Eb |
I can hear someone's coming and suddenly I'm scared


[FINAL CHORUS]
           F                     Gm                         Eb
'Cause you ripped me appart and I ran for my life cause I had to
           Cm          F            Bb               Bb/D             Eb
My heart won't stop bleeding and I'm no longer sure if I want it to
               F                    Gm                       Eb
All the friends I betrayed all the e - nemies made in the pro - cess
        Cm            F           Bb        Bb/D          Eb
They're all going down in accounts  of accep  -  table los - ses
