(Verse 1)
I’m still buying the kind of milk you like
(C4 - E4 - G4 - G4 - F4 - E4 - D4)
Force of habit, or maybe just a ghost in the aisle
(C4 - E4 - G4 - G4 - F4 - E4 - D4 - C4)
The porch light’s burnt out, I haven’t changed the bulb
(C4 - E4 - G4 - A4 - G4 - F4 - E4)
Because that was your job, and I’m still waiting for the goddamn shift to end.
(D4 - D4 - E4 - F4 - E4 - D4 - C4 - C4)
(Chorus)
And the neighbors keep waving like nothing has changed
(G4 - G4 - A4 - G4 - E4 - D4 - C4 - C4)
Like the map of this house hasn't been rearranged
(G4 - G4 - A4 - B4 - C5 - G4 - E4 - D4 - C4)
I’m memorizing the way that the air feels thin
(G4 - A4 - B4 - C5 - G4 - E4 - D4 - C4)
How do I explain to the walls that you aren't coming in
(G4 - A4 - G4 - E4 - D4 - E4 - D4 - C4)
From the rain?
(E4 - D4 - C4)
(Verse 2)
Your coat is still hanging by the front door frame
(C4 - E4 - G4 - G4 - F4 - E4 - D4)
Holding the shape of your shoulders, wearing your name
(C4 - E4 - G4 - G4 - F4 - E4 - D4 - C4)
I brushed past it today and I smelled your cologne
(C4 - E4 - G4 - A4 - G4 - F4 - E4)
For a second, the hell of the silence
didn't feel quite so alone.
(D4 - D4 - E4 - F4 - E4 - D4 - C4 - C4)
(Bridge)
The calendar is stuck on a Tuesday in May
(A4 - A4 - A4 - G4 - G4 - F4 - E4 - D4)
And I’m furious at the clocks for ticking anyway
(A4 - A4 - A4 - B4 - C5 - G4 - E4 - D4 - C4)
The mail is piling up with letters you’ll never read
(A4 - A4 - G4 - G4 - F4 - E4 - D4)
It's such a fucking waste of a garden, such a harvest of weeds.
(D4 - E4 - F4 - E4 - D4 - C4 - C4)
(Chorus)
And the neighbors keep waving like nothing has changed
(G4 - G4 - A4 - G4 - E4 - D4 - C4 - C4)
Like the map of this house hasn't been rearranged
(G4 - G4 - A4 - B4 - C5 - G4 - E4 - D4 - C4)
I’m memorizing the way that the air feels thin
(G4 - A4 - B4 - C5 - G4 - E4 - D4 - C4)
How do I explain to the walls that you aren't coming in
(G4 - A4 - G4 - E4 - D4 - E4 - D4 - C4)
From the rain?
(E4 - D4 - C4)
(Outro)
The coat is still heavy.
(G4 - E4 - D4 - C4)
The tea is still cold.
(G4 - E4 - D4 - C4)
The story is finished.
(D4 - E4 - C4)
But the book won't close.
(G3 - C4 - B3 - C4)
