C
    Find it hard to believe tonight
                                           G        Am
In a curiously well-kept house built before I was born
                      F
This year we're gonna stamp out the sorry feeling
C                                                                  
    Rain on summer vacation, five blocks from Tasker-Morris station
C/B                  Am              G                 D/F#
Fucked for the ride home if I can’t find two bills to rub together before


[Chorus]
  F               G
Midnight rolls around
                        F                 G
I thought you heard me sing your spirit sound
                     F           Dm
You turned an early left the TV flickering
       F
It's staged
   G
Romance across your face

C
    Said goodbye from the front porch
I always wonder if you're smiling at us
              C/B      Am
Or if you're looking away
                    F
I'd ask but either way I'd feel sorry for ya
C
    Locked your love in a screenshot
They all work that way
                              C/B        Am
But I'd been wishing I could say that I don't
             C                      D/F#
The selfish side likes to think my execution's more
       Am                C               D/F#
Of an honest one, these artists all cut clock with underscored
   Am                  C/B               C        C/B  Am      G         F
Conviction blacked out friction flies me back to Baltimore to wait for you
                    G
And I'm stuck here too


[Chorus]
       F                     G                         Am               C/B
Until midnight rolls around,   I thought you heard me sing your spirit sound
     C     C/B   Am   G   F            D7
You turned an   ear - ly left the TV flickering
      F
It's staged
  G
Romance across your face
