C# F# A#m A#m
C# F# A#m A#m
C# F# A#m A#m
[Verse 1]
C# F# A#m A#m
Smeared black ink
C# F# A#m
Your face is ashen and I'm barely listening
C# F# A#m
To last demands
C# F#
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering
A#m A#m
What's buried underneath
[Chorus]
C# F# G# G#
Where I am
C# F# G# G#
Where I am
[Verse 2]
C# F# A#m A#m
I'll wear my badge
C# F# A#m
A# vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest
C# F# A#m
That tells your new friends
C# F#
I am a visitor here
A#m
I am not permanent
C# F# A#m
And the only thing
C# F# A#m
Keeping me dry is
[Chorus]
C# F# G# G#
Where I am (In this gaudy apartment complex)
[You seem so out of context]
C# F# G# G#
Where I am (Explaining that I am just visiting)
[A# stranger with your door key]
C# F# G# G#
Where I am (why I was the one worth leaving)
[And I am finally seeing]
F# C#
(Why I was the one worth leaving)
A#m G# F#
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
A#m G# F# D#
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
[Chorus]
C# F# G# G#
Where I am (In this gaudy apartment complex)
[You seem so out of context]
C# F# G# G#
Where I am (Explaining that I am just visiting)
[A# stranger with your door key]
C# F# G# G# C#
Where I am (why I was the one worth leaving)
[And I am finally seeing]
F# C#
(Why I was the one worth leaving)
[Bridge]
A#m F# G# ( D#m ) A#m
The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
F# G# A#m
And leave the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
A#m F# G# F# A#m
And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
G# F# C#
Why I was the one worth leaving
G# F# C#
Why I was the one worth leaving
G# F# C#
Why I was the one worth leaving
