One, two, one, two, three.
[F#m]
[A] Last night, turned on the TV, looked out the window,
and then pulled down [F#m] the shade, and I came to the conclusion,
my mind could not [A] be made.
She said, what were you thinking?
I just am wondering, is it something [F#m] that I did?
I said it's nothing, just something I picked up [A] as a kid.
[D] I [A] hear [E] a lot of [A] empty spaces, [D] [A] I see [E]
a big hole in you.
[D] [A] I feel [E] an outline [A] of traces, [D] [A] an imaginary [E]
path back to you.
This ain't no [A] ordinary blue.
[F#m]
[A] Last night, first split sec, I was a train wreck, I was a complicated [F#m] guy.
I hope we don't find this the last time we ever say [A] goodbye.
[D] [A] The orange moon is arising on the horizon of the outskirts of [F#m] my mind.
I sat and listened as it glistened, it said leave the past [A] behind.
[D] [A] [D] I [A] hear [E] a lot of [A] empty spaces, [D]
I [A] see [E] a big hole in you.

[A] I feel [E] an outline [A] of traces, [D]

This ain't no [D] ordinary blue.

Too cold to hold me [D] deeper, swim [A] through.
