E
I'm counting out dollars while I limp to your brownstone.
      A                         Am
I can just barely cover what I need to get back home.
        F#m
And I know we're allowed indiscretion in our lives,
                B7
but I've been making mine count every night for a while.
        E
I keep deleting your number and name from my cell phone,
       A                        Am
but I call every day; that's as far as my act goes.
         F#m
What you have helps me turn down the noise that I make,
             B7
but when it stops it just pokes me and keeps me awake.
     E
My friends always warned about living cliches
        A                           Am
but my friends aren't there when I meet you these days.
         F#m
I count people and street signs from the back of your car
         B7
and then skip back excited to wherever they are.
 riff 1
I take risks in the stall while they talk by the bar.

I won't go back outside 'til my memory starts

erasing itself into something less brutal,

some beautiful bullshit I pretend to belong to.
        E
For as long as the truth tucks itself into bed,
         A                        Am
and the beat of my heart and the heat of my breath
         F#m
keep me hopeful and distant and proud of myself,
           B7                                          E
I'll keep ringing your bell every night around twelve.
