Longer That I'm Out Here Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The longer [Bm]that I'm [G]out here the better
[D]you sound
You're scrunching up [G]your face
in this picture I found
[A]And I'm chasing after you[G]
steadily los[Bm]ing ground
I [C#m]don't wan[Bm]na for[G]get so I'm
[A]writing [D]it down
[Bm][F#m][A][D]

[Verse 2]
Have you [G]ever?
No never never
[D]I found that hard to believe
Let's burn the fur[G]niture
To see how [D]angry
The fire can make me

[Verse 3]
And you say that [G]there's someone
That [A]you need to [Bm]reconnect with[D]
Some scarecrow from high[G]school
That you [A]loved and never [Bm]slept with
[D]A baby with a pipedream
[G]Playing [A]hopscotch [Bm]on your bandages

[Verse 4]
[D]And I'm singing all the[G]se songs
While I sleep on [D]your couch
I'm coughing up [G]a lung

[Verse 5]
But I'm covering my mouth
[A]And I paint you on the wal[G]l
Yellow, red, green, and [Bm]brown[A][D]
[Bm]I mi[C#m]s s you all the [G]time
But [D]I'm blocking it out
[Bm][A][D]

[Verse 6]
Are you bet[G]ter?
No never never
[D]What does that say about me?
Now let's break [G]the smoke alarm
To see how scared
[D]Locked windows can make me

[Verse 7]
You say there's [G]a stranger
Staring [A]sideways in a [Bm]deep [D]freeze
A loner draped in [G]ivy
[A]Playing slumlord in his city [Bm]dream
[D]A faker with an a[G]rt form
Pulling ma[A]gic tricks
On [Bm]the weak girls up his sleeve

[Verse 8]
[D]And I'm choking right alo[G]ng
With the words in [D]my throat
I'm falling back in [G]love
With the letter you wro[A]te

[Verse 9]
And I think that I was [G]wrong
But I guess [Bm]I don't [A]know[Bm]
[C#m]I figured that'll I wait[G]
Until [A]you tell [D]me[Bm][A][G]
[A][G]
[Bm][A][G][A]
[Bm]so

[Interlude 1]
[A][G][D][A]

[Verse 10]
The longer that I'm [G]out here
The better [D]you sound
You're scrunching up [G]your face

[Verse 11]
In this picture I found
[A]And I'm chasing after you[G]
Steadily los[Bm]ing [A]ground[Bm]
I mis[C#m]s you all the time[G]
But I'm blocking it [D]out

[Verse 12]
And the longer that I'm [G]out here
[D]The longer that I'm [G]out here
[A]The longer that I'm [G]out here
[Bm]The [A]long[D]er[C#m] that
[G]I'm out here
The better you sound
