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

Where I am (In this gaudy apartment complex)

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