[Intro]
 
F#m E D A
F#m E A A
 
(x3)
 
 
            F#m                  E                   D                  A
Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room
              F#m                    E                     A
So when I'll wake up I'll be like "Yeah, everything's all right"
              F#m                   E
You are still here, you are still happy.
               D                A
You are still smiling and laughing.
                  F#m             E                       A
You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life
            A        E
And it goes in, in, out through the mouth
 F#m                         E
Breathing exercises I will never figure out
         A
So I am running in circles or
 E
Walking in circles or
 F#m
Crawling in circles or
 E               D
Lying on the ground.
 
 
    Bm
And I
                    E                     A
Can hear your dog whistle from my bedroom.
  D
Yeah, yeah
    Bm
And I
                       E
Can see a flashlight cuttin'
                        A
Up the trees behind my house.
      D
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
 
 
F#m E D A
F#m E A A
 
(X2)
 
 
                       F#m               E
She says a lot of the kids we graduated with are now homeless
            D                                 A
Which puts them in mad shady situations with mad shady people
  F#m             E                          A
If not everyday, then on an every other day basis
                          F#m               E
And she's probably with a few of them right now
                             D                   A
And they are probably just drinking and talking about
                         F#m          E            A
How she misses gettin' fucked up and hangin' around
             F#m                                      E            D
And he says "Hey, you're good at that" and she says "Thanks. It's kind of
       A                         F#m                  E          A
All I got, " and then she looks away and says, "It's also all I need"
           A             E
And I can smell plastic burning,
              F#m               E
I can smell chemicals breaking down
            A           E
I got your last three emails,
                   F#m
The ones where you said,
        E                   D
"I was sorting some things out"
    Bm                               E                 A
And he will be able to hear her dog whistle from his bedroom
  D
Yeah yeah.
 
 
    Bm
And I
                      E
Can see a flashlight cuttin'
                        A
Up the trees behind my house.
  D
Yeah yeah.
    Bm
And I will read the flashing
        D
Like a Morse code explanation
                    A
Though it'll mean nothing
 
But take all night to figure out, out, out
 
 
F#m E D A
F#m E A A
 
 
     F#m       E              D                  A
I am sad, I am sad. And I am happy, oh God, I'm happy
(Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room)
               F#m           E              A
There's just no place in between for us to meet
(So when I'll wake up I'll be like yeah everything's all right.)
         F#m        E                  D                  A
But I am sad, I am sad, but when I am happy, oh God, I'm happy
(You are still here, you are still happy. You are still smiling and
Laughing)
                F#m           E             A
There's just no place in between for us to meet
(You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life.)
          F#m               E                  D           A
When I am sad, oh God, I'm sad, but when I'm happy, I am happy
(Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room)
                   F#m           E              A
And there's just no place in between for us to meet
(So when I'll wake up I'll be like, "Yeah, everything's all right")
          F#m               E                 D            A
When I am sad, oh God, I'm sad, but when I'm happy, I am happy
(You are still here, you are still happy. You are still smiling and
Laughing.)
                     F#m          E             A
And there's just no place in between for us to meet
(hold A)
I am sad

For any beginners or for a simpler, all open chord progression, put a capo on 2 and play with the following: F#m= Em E= D D= C A= G Bm= Am
