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

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