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