Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I'm in t[C]he city [F]you hated
My eyes have fallen
[G]Counting the clicks with
[F]the living dead
My eyes [Am]are red
[G]I'm

[Verse 2]
in the crush [F]and I hate it
My eyes have fallen
[G]I'm[C] having[F] trouble inside my skin
[G]I'll try[C] to keep my [F]skeletons in
[Am]Is it weird to b[G]e back

[Verse 3]
[C]in [F]the south?
And can they [Am]even tell
That the city [G]girl [C]was
[F]ever there or anywhere?

[Verse 4]
[G]I'm hav[C]ing[F] trouble inside my skin
[G]I'll try[C] to [F]keep my skeletons in
[G]I'll be [C]a f[F]riend and[Am] a fuck-up
[G]and and everything
But [Am]I'll never [G]be
Anything you ever want me [C]to be

[Verse 5]
I keep [G]coming back [F]here where [C]everything [G]slipped,
[C]ah-ah-ah
But But [G]But I will [F]not spill [C]my [G]guts out[C], ah
I keep [G]coming back [F]here where
[C]everything [G]slipped, ah-ah-ah
But [C]But But [G]I will [F]not spill [C]my [G]guts out,
ah, [Am]ah[G]
[Am][G][Am]

[Verse 6]
I don't [G]need any help [C]to [F]be breakable,
believe me
[Am]I know nobod[G]y else[C] who c[F]an laugh
along to any kind of joke
[Am]I won't need[G] any help to b[C]e lo[F]nely

[Verse 7]
when you leave me
[G]It'll be [C]easy to cov[F]er
[G]Gather my skel[C]etons [F]far inside
[G]It'll be summer [C]in [F]Dallas
[Am]Before I real[G]ize, [Am]ah[G]
I don't [Am]want [G]you to grieve but I want

[Verse 8]
[C]you to sympat[F]hize,
alright
I can't blame [Am]you for losi[G]ng your mind f[C]or a little [F]while,
so did I
I don't [Am]want [G]you to change but I want
[C]you to re[F]cognize, that I

[Verse 9]
[G]It'll be [C]easy [F]to cover
[G]Gather your skel[C]eton[F]s far inside
[G]It'll be summer [C]in Dal[F]las
[Am]before you real[G]ize
That [Am]I'll never [G]be
Anything you ever want me to be
[C]I keep

[Verse 10]
[G]coming back [F]here where
[C]everything [G]slipped, ah-ah-ah
But [C]But But [G]I will [F]not spill [C]my [G]guts out, ah
[C]I keep c[G]oming back h[F]ere where e[C]verything s[G]lipped,
ah-ah-ah
[C]But But But [G]I will [F]not spill [C]my [G]guts out,
[Am]ah, [G]ah
