(play intro riff)
A E F#m D
Like a Saturday night I'll be gone
A E N.C.
Like a Saturday night I'll be gone before you knew that I was there
A E
So you wrote it down I'm supposed to care
F#m
Even though it's never there
D
Sorry if I'm not prepared
A E
Is it hard to see the things you substitute
F#m
For me and all my thoughts of you
D
It's eating me alive to leave you
A E F#m
Maybe it's childish and maybe its wrong
D A
But so is your blank stare is lieu of this song
E N.C.
Maybe it's childish and maybe its wrong
A E F#m D
Don't want to be, don't want to be wro- -ong
A E D A
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
A E F#m D
Don't want to be, don't want to be wro- -ong
A E D
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this, in lieu of this
A
song
A E
I'm breathing in your skin tonight
F#m
Quiet is my loudest cry
D A
Wouldn't want to wake the eyes that make me melt inside
A E
And if it's healthier to leave you be
F#m
May your sickness come and set me free
D
Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me
A E F#m
I'm writing my own words, my own little stage
D A
My own epic drama, my own scripted page
E F#m
I'll send you the rough draft, I'll seal it with tears
D N.C.
Maybe you'll read it and I'll reappear
A E F#m
From the start it was shaky and the characters rash
D A
A nice setting for heartache where emotions come last
E F#m
Oh, I haven't even sought to overcome this desire
D D Dm
Of friendly intentions and fare-weathered smiles
A E F#m D
And I don't want to be, don't want to be wro- -ong
A E D A
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
A E F#m D
Don't want to be, don't want to be wro- -ong
A E D
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this, in lieu of this
A
song
A E F#m D
Like Saturday night I'll be go- -one
A E F#m D
Like Saturday night I'll be go- -one
A E F#m D
Like Saturday night I'll be go- -one
A E D Ddim A
Like Saturday night I'll be gone before you knew that I was there
