The () means you can play that string, but don’t have to.

VERSE 1

When I call you up always think [G/F#]twice.
I’ve been gathering the eminent flies.
There are times when I call you up twice.
No more saying what with all of your ties.

CHORUS

I should have been a t[G/F#]sin-tsi for you.
I should have been a tsin-tsi for you.
I should have been a tsin-tsi for you.
I should have been a tsin-tsi for you.

I should have been a tsin-tsi for you.

VERSE 2

When I call you up always think t[G/F#]wice.
I’ve been gathering the eminent flies.
BRIDGE

Em7, Cadd9, Gmaj, G/F#

CHORUS

I should have been a t[G/F#]sin-tsi for you.
I should have been a tsin-tsi for you.

You know it’s inside y[G/F#]ou
‘cause you should have been a Tsin-tsi to you.

From my boat I can see your house, and when the lights are on I can watch you move
Hear the wind whispering your name, twice the encouragement of the real you
Callie if you really want me to, I can always get you down, if you got the money for me
Callie in the summer rain you will be kept dry you see, if you got the money for me
Making amen_ds for distant wrong, sincere

You can run away, leave your books behind you
But you should look back twice, just to be on the safe side

From my boat I can see your house, but now the lights are off there is no one home
You are just like an avalanche, cold as I might have guessed but at least I’m covered up for now

In a big big way, I am really small
I get off my feet, but I’m still distant
Don’t you just love goodbyes?
Don’t you just love goodbyes?

Callie lets get it over with, I can always get you down, if you got the money for me
Callie in the summer rain you will be kept dry you see, if you got the money for me
Most of our li_ves we try so hard to find, the time__

I won’t care for you, like I’m really supposed to
There are things I’ll do, that could really hurt you
Don’t you just love goodbyes?
Don’t you just love goodbyes?

(1 5 6) Don’t you just love goodbyes? (1 5 6) Don’t you just love goodbyes?
(1 5 6) Don’t you just love goodbyes? (1 5 6) Don’t you just love goodbyes?
(1 5 6) Don’t you just love goodbyes? (1 5 6)

He has a super high voice so this is a more realistic version for us normal people 🙂

Guitar Start: A E D

All come in: F#m E Bm D x2

Farah, now that we’re here can you tell me

exactly how I should have done?

Farah drives with her eyes closed

Do you ever inflict unwanted memories?

I know you, and I know it won’t take you long

to make me smile

Farah, angelic girl, I’ll have you know

it’s you and me, potentially

Farah, don’t pull the carpet from under me

Indifference is killing me.

Am I wry?

Oh my fallacy fallacy in my words

Am I wry?

I know you and I know you’re not afraid,

to say the least.

E A Bm E x2

Diamond ring diamond ring, but you can’t find it

cold is the night.

Verse 1:
I don’t feel alright
In spite of these
comforting sounds you make
I don’t feel alright
Because you make
promises that you break

Chorus 1:
Into your house
Why don’t we share
Our solitude?
Nothing is
pure Anymore
But solitude

Verse 2:
It’s hard to make sense
Feels as if I’m sensing
you through a lens
If someone else comes
I’ll just sit here
listening to the drums

Chorus 2:
Previously
I never called
It solitude

Bridge:
And probably you know
All the dirty shows I’ve
put on Blunted and exhausted
like anyone Honestly I
tried to avoid it Honestly
Back when we were kids
We would always
know when to stop

And now all the good
kids are messing up
Nobody has gained
or accomplished
Anything
