Your ambition and promise

And your addiction to fame

It should've been me, yeah

Shouldn't it be?

Crushing quiet
D                    Am  /A /G
Blows in through the window

To someone who wants you

That you never know

And clear everything out

Leave you where I found you

I figured you out

Leave you where I found you
