[Intro]
C Dm Am Am

C Dm Am Am

[Verse]
C Dm Am Am
Smeared black ink
C Dm Am Am
your palms are sweaty and I'm barely listening
C Dm Am Am
to last demands
C Dm Am Am
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath
[Chorus]
F C G G
Where I am...
F C G G
F C G G
Where I am...
F C G G
[Verse]
C Dm Am Am
I'll wear my badge...
C Dm Am Am
A vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest
C Dm Am Am
That tells your new friends
C Dm Am Am
I am a visitor here... I am not permanent
C Dm Am Am
And the on-ly thing
C Dm Am Am
keep-ing me dry is
[Chorus]
F C G G
(Where I am...) You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
F C G G
(Where I am...) A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting
F C G G
(Where I am...) And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
F C G G
Why I was the one worth leaving
[Bridge]
C C Dm Dm
G G Am Am
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
[Solo]
C F Am Am (x8)

F C G G (x10)

[Chorus]
F C G G
(Where I am...) You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
F C G G
(Where I am...) A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting
F C G G
(Where I am...) And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
F C G G
Why I was the one worth leaving
[Chorus]
F C G G
(Where I am...) The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
F C G G
(Where I am...) And send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
F C G G
(Where I am...) And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
F C G G
Why I was the one worth leaving
[Outro]
F C G G
Why I was the one worth leaving
F C G G
Why I was the one worth leaving
F C G G x2 F
