Intro: Cadd9, G

Cadd9                      G
And I don’t know where you went when you left me but
Cadd9            G                 Cadd9      G
Says here in the water you must be gone by now
Cadd9      G
I can tell somehow
Cadd9           G           
One hand on the trigger of a telephone
Cadd9              G
Wonderin' when the call comes
                   Cadd9      G
Where you say it’s alright
             Cadd9      G
You got your heart right


A
Maybe I’ll sleep inside my coat and
Cadd9
Wait on your porch ‘till you come back home
G
Oh, right
               Cadd9
I can’t find a flight

G
We share the sadness
G
Split screen sadness

G
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
G
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Cadd9
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Cadd9
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight


G
"All you need is love" is a lie 'cause
We had a love but we still said goodbye
          Cadd9
Now we’re tired, battered fighters
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_mayer/split_screen_sadness_acoustic_crd.html ]
G
And it stings when it nobody’s fault cause there's
Nothing to blame At the drop of your name
              Cadd9
It’s only the air you took and the breath you left

   A
So maybe I’ll sleep inside my coat and
Cadd9
Wait on your porch 'til you come back home
G
Oh, right
               Cadd9
I can’t find a flight
        A                          
So I’ll check the weather wherever you are
        Cadd9                               G
Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight
                    Cadd9
It might be my only right

             G
We share the sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
Split screen sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
             Cadd9
We share the sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
Split screen sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)

Instrumental: (Em7-Em*, Cadd9) x 2 and then  G

Cadd9    
     I called
G
 because
Cadd9
     I just
G                  Cadd9       G
  Need to feel you on the line
           Cadd9       G       
Don’t hang up this time
Cadd9                 G
    And I know it was me who called it over but
Cadd9                  G                   Cadd9 (break back in to strumming)
    I still wish you'd fought me ‘til Your dying day
Cadd9
Don’t let me get away

A                                                   
 Cause I can’t wait to figure out what’s wrong with me
Cadd9                                        G   
So I can say 'this is the way that I used to be
                          Cadd9
There’s no substitute for time
           G
Or for the sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
             
Split screen sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
             Cadd9
We share the sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
             
Split screen sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
           G
Oh and the sadness
It's alright, it's alright
           
Oh and the sadness
It's alright, it's alright
           Cadd9
Oh and the sadness
It's alright, it's alright


The End.
