Em D G C
I'm in the city you hated
C
My eyes are fallen
Em D G C
Counting the clicks with the living dead
C
My eyes are red
Em D G C
I'm in the crush and I hate it
C
My eyes are fallen
D G C
I'm having trouble inside my skin
D G C
I try to keep my skeletons in
Em D G C
Is it weird to be back in the south?
C
And can they even tell
Em D G C
That the city girl was ever there -
C
Or anywhere?
D G C
I'm having trouble inside my skin
D G C
I try to keep my skeletons in
D G C
I'll be a friend and a fuck-up
C D
And everything
D Em D
But I'll never be
D
Anything you ever want me to be
G C D
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
D G C D
But I will not spill my guts out
G C D
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
D G C D
But I will not spill my guts out

Em D G C C
I don't need any help to be breakable, believe me
Em D G C C
I know nobody else who can laugh along to any kind of joke
Em D G C C
I won't need any help to be lonely when you leave me
D C
It'll be easy to cover
D G C
Gather my skeletons far inside
D G C
It'll be summer in Dallas
C D
Before I realize
Em D G
I don't want you to grieve
C
But I want you to sympathize (alright)
Em D G
I can't blame you for losing
C
Your mind for a little while (so did I)
Em D G
I don't want you to change
C
But I want you to recognize (that I)
D G C
It'll be easy to cover
D G C
Gather your skeletons far inside
D G C
It'll be summer in Dallas
C D
Before you realize
D Em D
That I'll never be
D G
Anything you ever want me to be
G C D
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
G C D
But I will not spill my guts out
G C D
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
D G C D
But I will not spill my guts out
