Verse
[D]This city's not the same without you [E]but I proud here on my own
[D]Below this winter sky I ain't counting time but it [E]sure is passing slow
[D]Been sitting up at the overlook the view's [E]best now it's cold
[D]Coal loads go east and empties west and the [E]river's been mighty low
Prechorus
[A]Yeah the mayor's out spinning [Bm]his on top [A]again
And the river [A]front's gone to [Bm]those with most cash in [A]hand
CHORUS
[G]Oh I know I think [A]too much and spend [D]too much time [G]alone
[G]But that don't mean I don't [A]miss you when you're [Bm]gone
Aside from [G]promises and a few [A]friends I made I don't [D]think I'll stay here [G]long
[G]With ease I [A]leave before my roots have [Bm]grown
VERSE (SAME PATTERN D&E)
[D]I wish I could slow you down and shake you [E]sometimes instead I'll listen more
[D]To the same old thoughts I've heard a thousand times and hope to hear [E]one thousand more
Like how the [D]city of the future plan blindly [E]preys on the working poor
All [D]collared blue with eyes bloodshot red on [E]payment plans to keep warm
PRECHORUS
[A]Yeah I've learned to stay as [Bm]far and as close as I can possibly [A]understand
But so[A]metimes it gets so [Bm]heavy lord I can't[A]
CHORUS
[G]Oh I know I think [A]too much and spend [D]too much time [G]alone
[G]But that don't mean I don't [A]miss you when you're [Bm]gone
Aside from [G]promises and a few [A]friends I made I don't [D]think I'll stay here [G]long
[G]With ease I [A]leave before my roots have [Bm]grown
But I don't [A]know
BRIDGE
[A] [D] [E] [D] [E]
PRECHORUS
[A]I need you more that you [Bm]need me in too many [A]ways
[A]And I can't stand [Bm]dependence so I can't [A]stay
CHORUS
[G]Oh I know I think [A]too much and spend [D]too much time [G]alone
[G]But that don't mean I don't [A]miss you when you're [Bm]gone

[G]With ease I [A]leave before my roots have [Bm]grown
[G]I'll be gon[A]e before you are even [Bm]home
