[Verse]
C
  I haven't felt this low in a long time
          Am
I haven't seen sunlight for 5 days
            G
And now the inside of my mouth's a mess

Just like the inside of my head
         F
I know I shouldn't have dropped by tonight
                                        C
But I just didn't know who else I could talk to
    Am
And December never seems to listen
              Bm            C
When I kindly ask for it to leave
            Am
All of this uncertainty and these unfinished bus rides
    F                G                C
Are breaking me like you wouldn't believe

[Chorus]
                               G
So I just sit here grinding my teeth
                     F         C                                                 G
And think about that beautiful smile that's stuck in my head, I know she doesn't exist
                              C                                  F
All she ever seems to want to do is talk to me at great length about our dead parents
     Am
So I get up, get out and start walking
    F                                   C
And try to think of ways to make winter go
       Am                                 F                           Am
And as I slipped and fell on black ice, I felt no urgency to get back up
             Dm                       Am G  F
Sometimes it just doesn't pay to get uh-uh-up
               G
Just like most mornings
    C
Lay awake and think about the past

A stairwell full of dirty needles and broken glass
       F                                       Am
Nights spent on cold wooden floors scratching scabies
        F                                      G     F# F    G
7 years on, fingers still crossed, hoping that maybe

[Bridge]

                   C
Someday I'll sober up, and I won't be a joke
              Am
And I'll stop smoking half your cigarette before realizing I don't smoke
         Em
And I'll stop giving in to vices when I feel like life's a lost cause
              F
And I'll stop going to bed with a splitting headache then waking up with a sore jaw
         C
And I'll appreciate the small amount of time that you decided to spend with me
        Am
Instead of learning to hate you so that I can get this over with quickly
         Em
And I'll stop checking for bad news about planes flying out of Scotland
                F
In case they've crashed into the ocean with my family members on them

[Outro]
               C                      G
But until that day, I know I'll always be
                    F                  F/E   F        C
Your pair of broken headphones on your loneliest ride home
                  G                    F
And you'll always be that song about a fresh start
                                    C
For which I can't seem to write the ending
