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

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