                    Bbmaj7                  F
The longer that I'm out here the better you sound

                          Bbmaj7                 C
You're scrunching up your face in this picture I found

                      Bbmaj7               Dm
And I'm chasing after you, steadily losing ground

C             Bb (strum twice)
I don't wanna forget so I'm writing it down

#Verse 1#

Bb
Have you ever? No, never never?
F
I find that hard to believe
Bb
So let's burn the furniture
                F
To see how angry a fire could make me

                         Bb               C           Dm           F
Now you say that there's someone that you need to reconnect with

                      Bb                 C               Dm        F
Some scarecrow from high school that you loved but never slept with

              Bb                 C                 Dm   F
A baby with a pipe dream playing hopscotch on your bandages

#Chorus#
########

                        Bbmaj7                      F
And I'm singing all his songs while I sleep on your couch

                  Bbmaj7                   C
I'm coughing up a lung but I'm covering my mouth

                       Bbmaj7
And I paint you on the wall

                       Dm
Yellow, red, green and brown

  C                Bb (strum twice)            
I miss you all the time but I'm blocking it out

Bb
Are you better? No, never never?
F
What does that say about me?
                    Bb
Now let's break the smoke alarm
                 F
To see how scared locked windows'll make me

                     Bb               C             Dm          F
So you say there's a stranger staring sideways in a deep freeze

                  Bb          C               Dm          F
A loner draped in ivy playing slumlord in his city dream

                Bb               C                   Dm                F
A faker with an art form pulling magic tricks on the weak girls up his sleeve

#Chorus#
########

                      Bbmaj7                     F
And I'm choking right along with the words in my throat

                    Bbmaj7                   C
I'm falling back in love with the letter you wrote

                       Bbmaj7                     Dm
And I think that I was wrong, but I guess I don't know

C                  Bb (strum twice)
I figure that I'll wait until you tell me so

The longer that I'm out here 

                    Bb (strum twice)
The longer that I'm out here the better you sound.
