[VERSE 1]
[C] Smeared[F] black[Am] ink
[C] Your [F]palms are sweaty[Am] and I'm barely listening
[C] To last[F] de[Am] -mands
[C] I'm staring at the [F]asphalt wondering[Am] what's buried underneath

[VERSE 2]
[C] I'll wear[F] my[Am] badge
[C] A vinyl sticker with [F]big block letters[Am] , adherent to my chest
[C] That tells[F] your new[Am] friends
[C] I am a [F]visitor here[Am] , I am not permanent
[C] And the on[F] -ly[Am] thing
[C] Kee[F] -ping[Am] me dry is

[CHORUS 1]
[F] You seem so [C]out of context[G] in this gaudy apartment complex
[F] A stranger [C]with your door key[G] explaining that I'm just visiting
[F] And I am [C]finally seeing[G] why I was the one worth leaving
[F] [C] [G] Why I was the one worth leaving
[F] [C] [Dm]

[CHORUS 2]
[F] It seems so [C]out of context[G] in this gaudy apartment complex
[F] A stranger [C]with your door key[G] explaining that I'm just visiting
[F] And I am [C]finally seeing[G] why I was the one worth leaving
[F] [C] [G] Why I was the one worth leaving

[F] The district [C]sleeps alone to[G]night after the bars turn out their lights
[F] And send the [C]autos swerving[G] into the loneliest evening
[F] And I am [C]finally seeing[G] why I was the one worth leaving
[F] [C] [G] Why I was the one worth leaving
[F] [C] [G] Why I was the one worth leaving
[F] [C] [G]
