[D] [Bm] [E] [A]
[Dmaj7] I sit and watch you reading [E]with your head low
[Dmaj7] I wake and watch you breathing [E]with your eyes closed
[Dmaj7] I sit and watch you
[E] I notice everything you do or [Dmaj7]don't do
You're so much older [E]and wiser, and I
[D]saw in my mind ferry lights through the mist
I [Bm]kept calm and carried the weight of the rift
[E]Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting [A]away
My [D]spine split from carrying us up the hill
Wet [Bm]through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill
I [E]stopped trying to make
him laugh, stopped trying to drill the [A]safe
[D]Thinking, How much sad did you
[Bm] Think I had, did [E]you think I had in [A]me? Oh, the tragedy
[A]I wait by the door like I'm just a [Dmaj7]kid
Use my best colors for your [A]portrait
Lay the table with the [E]fancy shit
And watch you [A]tolerate it
If it's all in my head tell me [Dmaj7]now
Tell me I've got it wrong [A]somehow
I know my love should be [E]celebrated
But you [F#m]tolerate it
[F#m]While you were out building other worlds, [Dmaj7]where was I?
Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my [F#m]barbed wire?
I made you my temple, my mural, my [E]sky
Now I'm begging for footnotes in [F#m]the story of your life
Drawing hearts in the [Dmaj7]byline
Always taking up too much space or [F#m]time
You assume I'm fine, but what would you [E]do if I
[Bm]find [E] [A]someone
[D]So [Bm]long, [E] [A]London
[D] [Bm]Stitches [E] [A]undone
[D]Two [Bm]graves, [E]one [A]gun
[D]I'll [Bm]find [E] [A]someone
And you [Gbm]say I abandoned the ship but I was [A]going down with it
My white [E]knuckle dying grip
holding [Bm]tight to your quiet resentment
And my friends said [Gbm]it isn't right to be scared
Every [A]day old love affair, every [E]breath feels like rarest air
When you're not [Bm]sure if he wants to be there so I
[A] Break free and leave us in [Dmaj7]ruins
Took this dagger in me and removed it
[A] Gain the weight of you then [E]lose it
Believe me, I could [A]do it
If it's all in my head tell me [Dmaj7]now
Tell me I've got it wrong [A]somehow
I know my love should be [E]celebrated
But you [F#m]tolerate it
I [D]thought that you loved me, but there were no clues
I [Bm]died on the altar waiting for the proof
You [E]sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest [A]days
And I'm [D]just getting color back [Bm]into my face
I'm [E]just mad as ever cause I [A]loved this place for
[D]So [Bm]long, [E] [A]London
[D]Had [Bm]a [E]good [A]run
a [D] [Bm]moment of [E]warm [A]sun
But [D]I'm [Bm]not [E]the [A]one
[D]So [Bm]long, [E] [A]London
[D] [Bm]Stitches [E] [A]undone
[D]Two [Bm]graves, [E]one [A]gun
[D]You'll [Bm]find [E] [A]someone
[D] [Bm] [E] [A] [G] [Am] [Em] [F] [Am] [G] [F]
[Em] I sit and watch you
in [G]people's windows
[Am]Like I'm some[G] deranged weirdo
[Am]I attend [G]Christmas parties [F]from outside
[Am]I look in [G]people's windows
[Am]In case you're [G]at their table
[Am]What if your [G]eyes looked up and [F]met mine
One more time
