VERSE:
B
it's turning on MTV
F#
when we were fourteen
E
you said, "my moms asleep,
B
we won't get caught.
F#
what do you want to watch?"
B
and i could hear the traffic
F#
that i know you're ignoring
E
but i let it into my life
B F#
to thicken to air i breathe
VERSE:
B
it was at the bus stop that a woman cried
F#
and i could tell she was different by the look in her eyes
E
and i don't know what she said
B F#
but i felt what she meant in her honesty
B
and i went to your house that night
F#
and i told you about the woman's eyes
and the words in her mouth
E B F#
and how i wouldn't mind taking her advice one day
B F# E F#
but i'm the cowardly lion
VERSE:
B
i'll leave quietly
F#
if that means
E B
a better chance to commemorate what we had
F#
when we were happy
BREAK:
B
this isn't a love song, no not in the least
F#
i just miss you watching my tv
E
when i'm writing,
F#
so i can hear you laughing
B
i swear to god i still hear you
when i close my eyes
F#
and you'd tell me
i'm not going to die
E
like you used to
F#
before i did this
CHORUS:
B
you're the sunlight
that i wished would leave
F#
i'm the raincloud
i don't wanna be
E
because the more you're gone
F#
the more i grow pale
B F# E F#
i grow pale
CHORUS:
B
you're the sunlight
that i wished would leave
F#
i'm the raincloud
i don't wanna be
E
because the more you're gone
F#
the more i grow pale
B
i grow pale
