[Verse 1]
In a[G]ll good faith and sentiment
I can't believe somehow
That I h[Em7]aven't died of grief or something
Since you left this town
I'm all u[Cadd9]ndecorated, cigare[G]ttes,
And standard white a[D]partment walls[Dsus4][D][Dsus4]
[Verse 2]
[G]
[And] [3] [am] [and] [4] [am]
It's impossible to sleep
I'd do a[Em7]nything to hold you
To feel you next to me
But I'm all s[Cadd9]ore eyes and beasts
At my b[G]ackdoor, pulling out their cl[D]aws[Dsus4][D][Dsus4]
[Chorus]
So y[Em7]es I will take t[Cadd9]hose
Whate[G]ver else they [D]give me
[Em7]If it stops the n[Cadd9]ightmares
It pr[G]obably won't k[D]ill me
And [Em7]if I slow it d[Cadd9]own I'll end up [G]on one of my accuser's k[D]nives
So I [Cadd9]only stop to tell her that I l[D]ove her at the red lights
[Post-Chorus]
[Em7] [Cadd9] [G]
[D]At the red lights
[Break]
[Em7] [Cadd9] [G] [D]
[Verse 3]
And a[G]ll in all I'm wrecked you see
From years of piping down
And p[Em7]iping up about the things
That never mattered anyhow
When you c[Cadd9]hange too much you lose yourself
And s[G]ometimes you just can't get them [D]back[Dsus4][D][Dsus4]
[Verse 4]
And you m[G]ight be an angel or a devil, I don't know
But [Em7]if in fact you are now, love
Well, I've been there before
I've f[Cadd9]allen on my face and I've been b[G]urned so near to death
I probably wont l[D]ive through i[Dsus4]t........[D].a[Dsus4]nyhow
[Chorus]
So y[Em7]es I will take t[Cadd9]hose
Whate[G]ver else they [D]give me
[Em7]If it stops the n[Cadd9]ightmares
It pr[G]obably won't k[D]ill me

So I o[Em7]nly stop to [Cadd9]tell her that I lo[G]ve her a[D]t the red lights
So [G]yes I will take t[G/F#]hose
What[Em7]ever else they [Cadd9]give me
[G]If it stops the n[G/F#]ightmares
It p[Em7]robably won't k[Cadd9]ill me
And i[G]f I slow it d[G/F#]own I'll end [Em7]up on your k[Cadd9]nife
