[Eb] Alright, [Ab] [Eb] [F] so uh, it's a [Abm] brand new song.
[Bb] I haven't been in the studio with it, haven't finished it.
[E] Um, but I just thought like a really great way to [B] finish it up is to take it out on the [Abm] road, so.
[Eb] I wanna play it for you guys.

[Eb] [Ab] [Eb] So if you're struggling to go to sleep tonight
With your heart you're holding beneath the lonely light
Oh darling [C] if I had you [Ab] across your mind
Won't you [Eb] let me know
[Ab] [Eb] Oh it's hard, oh it's [Ab] hard to [Eb] be alone
Oh it's hard, oh it's [Ab] hard to [Eb] be alone
[Cm] [Eb] I got half a bottle of beer and you're still mad at me
Empty paper cigarettes, you get me three weeks
[Ab] While I'm kissing three nights, begging you to never go
[Eb]
[Ab] [Eb] Staring [Bb] at your photograph [Ab] and singing to you down [Eb] the telephone
So [Ab] [Eb] if you're struggling to go to sleep tonight

[Ab] [Eb] [Bb] Moved to the windy [Eb] city [Ab] called it home
[Bb] Oh what a crowded place [Ab] to live alone
She [Bbm] was a quiet [Ab] girl when we were young
[E] What [G] have we done, what [Ab] have we done
