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

D.C. sleeps alone tonight

Where I am (why I was the one worth leaving)
[And I am finally seeing]

(Why I was the one worth leaving)
[Bridge]
G#m E F# ( C#m ) G#m
The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
E F# G#m
And leave the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
G#m E F# E G#m
And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
F# E B
Why I was the one worth leaving
F# E B
Why I was the one worth leaving
F# E B
Why I was the one worth leaving
