[Verse]
G                    C               Am
You stretch yourself across the continent
       D             G
Make a mess in every place
G                           C
Well, I know you still live in Toronto
     Am                   D              G
When you don’t learn from any of your mistakes

C D                  Em
I know everybody can see
            D                                C
Your family tree is so much brighter without me
             D                       Em
All you ever say is it’s such a damn shame
                D                     G
We are now just strangers who share a last name

[Instrumental]

G                              C
Locked doors and screaming can never leave me
  Am               D         G
I can’t outrun it, even if I tried
    G                          C
And now we’re on year four and I still have your
Am          D     G
Answering machine memorized

C D                  Em
I know everybody can see
            D                                C
Your family tree is so much brighter without me
             D                       Em
All you ever say is it’s such a damn shame
                D                     G
We are now just strangers who share a last name

G               C
I used to carry so much weight
  Am                 D         G
I broke my back just trying to stand
G                     C
Back then, I couldn’t even speak
    Am           D               G
Without my mouth covered by your hand

C                  D                   Em
And now I talk all that I want, it’s alright
                          D                    C
My thoughts can fill this city and I no longer mind
               D                    Em
I can find the comfort in silent sunrise
            D                          C
I no longer shrink back when I see the light
