Intro: C E C
verse 1
Em F
I woke up screaming and swearing in Spanish
C
Clueless to the sounds and smells of people around me
Em
Washed my face in the cracked sink
F C
Walked a stained carpet, kissed your naked shoulder and I took to the street
Em F
The trip home isn't is as it always was and always will be
C
Was a stain of pleasant taste of you still in my mouth
Em F C
When I quit smoking I ran out of good reasons to leave the house
Pre-Chorus
G F Em
The day breaks the skyline like it's not even there, gotta get as quick as I can back to safe or nowhere
C
This isn't a healing process, I'm not on the mend
Em C Em
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you terribly and I need to remember that my body's a machine,
F C
my body is a machine
verse 2
C Em
And you look so tiny and scared in the kitchen doing the dishes on your little tippy-toes
C Em
I remember before the wreckage I swung your arms from side to side
F C
Danced a waltz on the kitchen tiles and the last time that I touched you
Em F
would be when I brushed your shoulder in the corridor of our old house
C
We kicked and screamed about whether I was gonna get my bunk back
Em F G
but what I was really saying was I still loved you and you were screaming, "get the fuck out of my house"
Pre-Chorus
G F Em
The day breaks the skyline like it's not even there, gotta get as quick as I can back to safe or nowhere
C
This isn't a healing process, I'm not on the mend
Em C Em
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you terribly and I need to remember that my body's a machine,
F C
my body is a machine
verse 3
Am
You said it was just another thing that you never explained to me
Dm A Am
I was pit-walking a median strip near my parents house - going about sixty
Am Dm A
And I flew for the first and only time in my life
If they hit me, they hit me x8
They hit me if they
They hit me if they hit me x8
They hit me if they
