I found my fickle friend out in the alley way.
F
He said "You don't look so good."
C
I said "Hey, Doc, that's great."
F	      C 	    G    Em      C
"You started practicing, I never got the note."
	  Dm	   C	        G	C
So let�s shake and trade and be on our way.
		   F	 C       F       C
Let's go go go.
F		       C
So here we are again, inside your neon shrine.
F			C
Sharing a chopping block beneath embarrassed light.
F		C	       G      Em     C
That tries to hide from us, it tucks itself away.
      Dm	C	      G		C
So we both grab hold and say "No you don't."
			F	C	F	C
Just stay, just stay.
F		
The morning's hot and harsh.
C
My notebook fills itself.
F
The words come thick with sweat.
C
But it feels like someone else
F	      C
Is writing all of this.
	G       Em   C
Someone I just can't believe
     Dm	      C	         G         C	                   F C F C C/B
So I mop my brow, set my pen back down. Still me, still me.
 	    C		   Am
And I'm grabbing at a feeling now
	C		G
That I can't ever name.
	C		Am
Some sign posted to remind me
        C		G
How I wanted things this way.
		F	       C
She says "It's pretty but you hate yourself."
 	C      	C/B        C
"I can hear it clear as day."
		C
And I say "I sing like this,
	      C/B	     C
It sounds worse than it is."

I'm okay, okay.
F		C
I'm okay, okay.
F		C
I'm okay, okay.
F		C
I'm okay, okay.
F		C
So just stay, just stay
F		C
So just stay, just stay
F		C
I'm okay, okay.
F		C
So just stay, just stay,
F		C
Just stay, just stay.
F		C
Ohhhhh, Whoa, Whoa oh oh
F		C
Ohhhhh, Whoa, Whoa oh oh
F		C
Ohhhhh, Whoa, Whoa oh oh
F		C
Ohhhhh, Whoa, Whoa oh whoa.
F		C
Oh Whoa, oh Whoa.
F		C
Oh Whoa, oh Whoa.
F		C
Oh Whoa, oh Whoa.
F		C
Oh Whoa, oh Whoa.
