[Intro] 
C  Dm  Am  Am
C  Dm  Am  Am


[Verse 1] 
C        Dm    Am  Am 
  Smeared black ink
C      Dm             Am               Am
  your palms are sweaty and I'm barely listening
C       Dm  Am   Am
  to last demands
C                    Dm               Am             Am
  I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath


[Chorus 1] 
F      C  G  G 
 Where I  am...

F  C  G  G 

F      C  G  G 
 Where I  am...

F  C  G  G 


[Verse 2]
C         Dm  Am     Am 
  I'll wear my badge...
C                      Dm                  Am       Am 
  A vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest
C           Dm       Am     Am 
  That tells your new friends
C        Dm           Am          Am 
  I am a visitor here... I am not permanent
C           Dm  Am   Am 
  And the on-ly  thing
C    Dm  Am  Am 
 keep-ing me dry is


[Chorus 2]
F                             C            G               G 
(Where I  am...) You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
F                             C                G                G 
(Where I  am...)  A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting
F                          C            G              G 
(Where I  am...) And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
F      C  G               G 
            Why I was the one worth leaving


[Bridge] 
C  C  Dm  Dm

G     G      Am         Am
  D.C. sleeps alone tonight


[Solo]

[Chorus 2]
F                             C           G                G 
(Where I  am...) You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
F                             C               G                G 
(Where I  am...)  A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting
F                           C           G              G 
(Where I  am...) And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
F      C  G               G 
            Why I was the one worth leaving


[Chorus 3]
F                              C                 G          G 
(Where I  am...) The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
F                             C             G         G 
(Where I  am...) And send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
F                           C           G              G 
(Where I  am...) And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
F      C  G               G 
            Why I was the one worth leaving


[Outro] 
F  C  G                G 
         Why I was the one worth leaving
F  C  G                G 
         Why I was the one worth leaving
