Verse
Em Am
Someone tipped the scales and watched the waters flood
Em Am
They blew out all the windows, caked the walls with mud
B Em Am
And everybody knows when it hits in the south
Em B Am
That is a land that we will learn to live without
Em B Em
That is a house that we have learned to live without.
[Verse 2]
Em Am
When ruins come in pieces with no pictures to recall
Em Am
When you can't find a light to break or bright the shadows on the wall
B Em Am
Every time that we declare this is it, I'm giving up
Em B Am
There comes a push, there comes a push, there comes a push
Em B Em
And we don't sit down, what we do is get back up.
[Bridge]
A? B Em
It was an idea that we had and a bad idea at that
Am B
I wanna be loved by you, I sure do...
[Chorus]
Em
Let's learn to be alone together
Am B
Let's cry our fucking eyes out 'cause we know no one will care for us
Em
Let's go home alone together
Am B
Let's fuck and let's expect it when we don't feel any better.
[Verse 3]
Em Am
There goes the best damn summer that we ever spent
Em Am
Drinking on the porch, rolling our own cigarettes
B Em Am
Jumping up and down in our panties on the bed, screaming,
Em B Am
That was the best summer that we will ever have
Em B Em
And we believed it, we believed it, we believed it.
[Verse 4]
Em Am
So won't you take me to the kitchen of your ex-wife's house?
Em Am
Bore me with details of all the papers you've put out
B Am
And I can't tell when you're gonna figure out
Em B Am
That any line you use tonight will work
Em B Em
Because we're both as fucking broken as we look.
[Chorus]
Em
Let's learn to be alone together
Am B
Let's cry our fucking eyes out 'cause we know no one will care for us
Em
Let's go home alone together
Am B
Let's fuck and let's expect it when we don't feel any better.
Em
Let's go home alone...
Em
Let's go home alone...
