[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]You're too occupied
choking on the smoke
From this [D]short [Em]fuse of [C]mine,
which took a half- year to light
A half- year [Em]to li[G]ght[Em]
To [C]realize you should have waited
for some sort of [D]cue
[Em]Before[C] jabbering on and on about
the towns you once [D]knew[Em]

[Verse 2]
'Cause [A]frankly, I asked you to stay
It's not my fault that [C]you
left [Cm]any way

[Verse 3]
[C]A borrowed [Am]idea [C]which
was [Am]yours to borrow-
[C]You can[D] thank me [Em]later[C] to
keep you busy day after day
During sets of long [G]hours [Em]dealing
[C]four- dollar drinks
To ten- dollar [D]tables. [Em]Is[C]
this all as you imagined it?
Talent to townie, just [Em]wasting it

[Verse 4]
'Cause [A]frankly, I asked you to stay
So [C]here's 22 syllables
[Cm]to show you I'm capable

[Verse 5]
Un[G]til you de[Em]cide
[Am]we're taking our time
[C]I'll [G]read about [Em]us a couple
[Am]days every [Ab]month
Un[G]til you [Em]decide
[Am]we're taking [C]our time
I'll [G]read about [Em]us a couple days
[A]every month

[Interlude 1]
[C][Cm][C][G][C]
[F]
It's [C]not me

[Verse 6]
in the [G]wrong[F]
[C]It's not me in the wrong
Taking our time a couple days
[G]every mon[F]th
[G]It's [C]not me in the wrong
Taking our time a couple
[G]days every [F]month
It's not [C]me in the wrong

[Verse 7]
It's not me in the wrong
[C]
My Winter, it [Em]nev [C]er is [G]quieter
[C]without [G]you[Em][D][Em]
[Am]My kit[C]chen at midnight is
[G]quieter [C]without [G]you
My [C]evenings in early are quieter
without [D]you[Em]
[C]My pockets and wallet are quieter
[G]without [C]you[D][Em]

[Verse 8]
But [A]frankly, I'd asked you to stay
It's not my fault that [C]you left [Cm]any way

[Verse 9]
Un[G]til you [Em]decide that
we're [A]wasting our [C]time
I'll be [G]reading about [Em]us a couple
[A]days every [Ab]month
So un[G]til you de[Em]cide that
we're [A]wasting our [C]time
I'll be [G]reading about [Em]us a
couple [A]days every month
[Cm]
