[VERSE]
Goo[G]dbye, Carolina. I felt c[Bm]old and I felt weak.
I took the mi[Am]dnight bus from Asheville
passed like a ghost through Tenn[C]essee. Brushed th[G]e Northern edge of Blacksburg. Like y[C]our hair off of your
cheeks. I wish I could fall asleep. [F]Half-dead in the window seat-- [C]awake for weeks.
[INTERLUDE]
[G] [Bm] [C] [Em] [D]
[VERSE]
[G]Good morning, Manhattan. Stopped a P[Bm]ort Authority. I’ll take the t[Am]rain under the
river; ride the[C] A out to the G.
And I’ll walk[G] along your narrow streets with a doll[C]ar cup of coffee, letting it
[F]stain my teeth. Two sugars,
a d[C]rop of cream. Bittersweet.
[INTERLUDE]
[G] [Bm] [C] [Em] [D]
[VERSE]
[G]God damn I missed you, Brooklyn. Caught my b[Bm]reath here on your streets. I left my win[Am]ter
coat in Charlotte.
I’m c[C]ursing at the breeze. I’m h[G]iding out from early March. Read the si[C]gn hung in
our lobby. The elevator
[F]broke last week. I walk the stairs to [C]403.
I don’t bl[Em]ame you for cha[D]nging the l[C]ocks. I think I’d p[Em]robably do the s[D]ame if it [C]
were me. I’m [Em]gathering up the
c[D]ourage to kn[C]ock. I’m not sure what I’m loo[Am]king for. I don’t know what I [C]want. I
don’t w[G]ant anything.
I don’t want [Eb]anything.
[G]Some college student answers and my heart [Bm]crash-lands on the floor. He says he [Am]sublet
this place last month.
He never h[C]eard of me before. He s[G]ees me there collapsing and he [C]opens up the door.
It’s all n[F]ew furniture.
I barely recognize[C] it anymore.
He says, I’m sorry[Em] , man. I wi[D]sh that I knew mo[C]re. I’m not s[Em]ure exactly w[D]hat you’re
looking f[C]or, but no Di[Em]ane,
no, she don’t l[D]ive here anymo[G]re, anymore[C] , anymore.[Am] Diane don’t l[C]ive here anym[G]ore.
