[Verse 1]
F A# Dm Dm
Smeared black ink
F A# Dm
Your face is ashen and I'm barely listening
F A# Dm
To last demands

I'm staring at the asphalt wondering
Dm Dm
What's buried underneath
[Chorus]

Where I am
F A# C C
Where I am
[Verse 2]
F A# Dm Dm
I'll wear my badge
F A# Dm
D vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest
F A# Dm
That tells your new friends
F A#
I am a visitor here
Dm
I am not permanent
F A# Dm
And the only thing
F A# Dm
Keeping me dry is
[Chorus]
F A# C C
Where I am (In this gaudy apartment complex)
[You seem so out of context]
F A# C C
Where I am (Explaining that I am just visiting)
[D stranger with your door key]
F A# C C
Where I am (why I was the one worth leaving)
[And I am finally seeing]
A# F
(Why I was the one worth leaving)
Dm C A#
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
Dm C A# G
D.C. sleeps alone tonight

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

Why I was the one worth leaving

Why I was the one worth leaving
