[Intro] E  G#m  C#m
        E  G#m

[First Part]

E        G#m              C#m
  Cut me loose in mid-September
      C#m       C5+
I was out of my element
E        G#m                 C#m
  Started building up these walls
             C#m     C5+
Keeping everybody outside of them
C#m           E                  G#m  B
    Bare hands holding on to the wire

( E  G#m  C#m )

[Segunda Parte]

E       G#m                 C#m
  Weeks pass, the Earth is turning
             C#m           C5+
Things start swimming into focus
E                          G#m                C#m
  And now I'm rolling your words through my cheeks
       C#m           C5+
Like a mouth full of poison
C#m            E                G#m  B
    I watch it all go up in the fire

[Chorus]

A                                  E
  You were feeling lonely, and you called me
       E
Hoping I'd be home
A                                  E
  You're like a bad trip or a sick habit
            E
I should've left it alone
A                                   E
  You were feeling lonely, takin' advantage
          E
Knowing I wouldn't say no
C#m               E                 G#m     B
    You're just a bad trip, I can't help it, oh

[Terceira Parte]

E          G#m               C#m
  Wake up alone, now it's December
        C#m      C5+    E
There's snow out in the yard
            G#m                C#m
A cold wind cutting through my jacket
           C#m    B
As I drift up the boulevard
E               G#m             C#m
  That sinking feeling creeping in again
    C#m   C5+    E
No matter what I try
              G#m            C#m
And I'm just waiting for a signal
           C#m   C5+
I'm just staring down at my

[Pre-Chorus]

A                              E   
  Bare hands holding on to the wire
A                                  E
  Good lord, I'm worn out, and I'm always tired
C#m           E                   G#m
    Bare hands holding on to the wire
        B
And I'm always tired

[Chorus]

A                                   E
  You were feeling lonely, and you called me
       E
Hoping I'd be home
A                                  E
  You're like a bad trip or a sick habit
            E
I should've left it alone
A                                   E
  You were feeling lonely, takin' advantage
          E
Knowing I wouldn't say no
C#m               E                 G#m     B A#5+
    You're just a bad trip, I can't help it

[Quarta Parte]

A                       E   
  You were feeling lonely
A                 E   
  And you called me
A                E   
  Takin' advantage
C#m               E                 
    You're just a bad trip
        G#m     B
I can't help it, oh

( E  G#m  C#m )

E           G#m                 C#m  C5+
  Bare hands holding on to the wire
E           G#m                 C#m  B
  Bare hands holding on to the wire
