 C G      Am    F
Imaginary friend, 
     C       G    Am  F
you live up in my head
C        G           Am    F
 So I\'ve been making music
C          G          Am    F
 Since you told me to do it
C      G      Am  F
 I just wanna know 
 C   G          Am F
 who broke your nose
C       G              Am   F
 Figure out where they live

 You wanted a song

[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G             Bm     Em       D
You could absolutely break my heart
C          G      Em      D
That\'s how I know we\'re in love
G                Bm     Em     D
I don\'t need the sample of the scar
   C                G
So put the down the knife
          Bm  D
We\'re not swapping blood
C         G           
Isn\'t it enough that we
  G        G/F# Em
 stripped down to our skin?
G        C              D
Cold and porcelain like bathers
 in a painting
    C                      
And I told you of your past 
             G    G/F#        Em
lives, every man you\'ve ever been
   G            Em   
It wasn\'t flattering,
         D
 but you listened like
 it mattered

[Chorus]
C               G      G/F#    Em
I feel crazy in ways I\'d never say
C                     
Will you still love me
       G    G/F#       Em
 if it turns out I\'m insane?
C           G         
I know what you\'ll say, 
         C              
but it helps to hear you 
   D         G   G/F# Em D C
say it anyway

[Instrumental]
G G/F# Em D A C

[Verse 2]
       G            Bm
Some October in the future
         Em           D
I\'ll run out of trash TV
     C              G     
And I\'ll be feeling lonely,
          Em          D
 so I\'ll walk to karaoke
         G    G/F#       Em
Sing the song you wrote about me
      C                 D
Never once checking the words
            G             Em
I hope that no one sings along
            C         D
I hope that I\'m not a regular

[Chorus]
C
Damn, that makes me sad
           G                   Em
It doesn\'t have to be like that
   G                Em   
If you rewrite your life, 
            D
may I still play a part?

[Verse 3]
       G                  Em
In the next one, will you find me?
            C       
I\'ll be the boy with 
              D
the pink carnation
             G              
Pinned to my lapel who looks
      D                 C
 like hell and asks for help
           D               A
And if you do, I\'ll know it\'s you
        C                  
I can\'t imagine you without
     G          D       Em
 the same smile in your eyes
         C                  
There is somethin\' about you
             G   D  Em
 that I will always recognize
    D
And if you don\'t remember
       C                   
I will try to remind you of 
     G
the humming birds

[Bridge]
        Em
You know the ones
       C           D
And the baby scorpion
        G              Em
And the winter and the halo
        C                   D
And the walk we took in the red 
woods

[Outro]
           G      D      Em
I could go on and on and on 
      D                C
(And on and on) and I will
   G      D      Em D    
Go on and on and on until
        C
 it all comes back

me read your mind (Ooh)

Then there are nights you

 say you don\'t remember
         G              D  
When you stepped on the gas

 and you asked if I\'m

you were right (Mmm)

G     D  Em  Bm  
Walkin\' alone in

this city

Makes me feel like a man
 Bm D       G     D
    on the moon (Ooh)
      Em           D   
Every small step I took
   Bm   C       Cm
 was so easy (Mmm)
      G      D         Em

quite as pale or as blue (Ooh)
    G            D

     C     G    C
 it to you (Mmm)

\"If you love me, you 
                     D
will listen to this song\"

So I didn\'t tell you you 
      G

On the interstate until

the song was done
E                F#m  
You felt like an idiot 
 A         G           E
adding an hour to the drive
But it gave us more time 
      F#m
to embarrass ourselves
A                  F#m     
Tellin\' stories we wouldn\'t 
      G

She\'s asleep in the backseat

Looking peaceful enough to me
          B        
But she\'s wakin\' up

 inside a dream

tires and fire

where the North Star is

Someone only you could want

[Verse 2]
       B           
Headed straight for 
     E
the concrete
      F#        E
In a nightmare screaming
        B           E
Now I\'m wide awake, spiraling
    F#              E
And you don\'t wanna talk
     B                E
Just take me back to Montreal
           F#       
I\'ll get a real job, 
           E
you\'ll go back to school
       B          
We can burn out in 
      E
the freezing cold
    F#        E
And just get lost

And I can feel myself becoming

Somebody I\'m not, I\'m not, so
E                  B

Make it up as we go along?
    E      B           
I\'m 27 and I don\'t know
