Intro
B F# G#m F# E G#m F# (x2)
[Verse 1]
B
It's a sordid sort of feeling
F# G#m
When you learn to live with spite.
F# E
It's a desperate kind of living
G#m F#
When you're burning up the night.
B
Getting sick of all the drinking
F# G#m
Getting sicker every day.
E F# B
Cause I can't say the things I really want to say
[Verse 2]
B F# G#m
I remember when Chicago seemed a million miles away
F# E G#m F#
I was chained by quiet longing on that Independence Day
B F# G#m
A month across the country built in all I learned from you
E F# B
I sang those thoughts away just like I always do.
[Chorus]
B E
It's been an age, it's been an era, it's been a lifetime.
G#m F#
But I'll remember every step
B E
I'll cross my heart when we cross paths across the country
G#m F#
Please just remember I'm not the one who left, and I never will
[Interlude]
B F# G#m F# E G#m F# (x2)
[Verse 3]
B F# G#m
All the aches and shits and quivers hurdle in with morning light
F# E G#m F#
and a somber sense of longing steals my breath and grips my spine
B F# G#m
I can feel the salty ocean suck the moisture from my skin
E F# B
And I know staying here will surely do us in
[Verse 4]
B/C C#m E B F# E
And I walked on down to that lonely shoal, where my best hopes go to die
C#m E B F# E
I thought I will keep you in my pen, until the ink wells all go dry
B F# B
And I'll keep it like a secret every day
[Chorus]
B E
It's been an age, it's been an era, it's been a lifetime.
G#m F#
But I'll remember every step
B E
I'll cross my heart when we cross paths across the country
G#m F#
Please just remember I'm not the one who left
B
And I never will
