[Intro] C F Dm G C [Verse 1] I tapped on your window F on your darkest night Dm The shape of you was jagged and weak G There was nowhere for me to stay, Am but I stayed anyway C And if I would've known how many pieces F you've had crumbled into G I might have let them lay [Chorus] C Are you really gonna talk about timin' in times like these? F And let all your damage, damage me Dm And carry your baggage up my street G C And make me your future history, it's time F You come a long way, open the blinds, let me see your face Dm You wouldn't be the first renegade, G Am to need somebody C Is it insensitive for me to say F G "Get your sh*t together so I can love you"? Am C Is it really your anxiety that stops you F from givin' me everything? G C Or do you just not want to? [Verse 2] I tapped on your window F on your darkest night Dm The shape of you was jagged and weak G There was nowhere for me to stay, C but I stayed anyway You fire off missiles F 'cause you hate yourself Dm And do you know you're demolishin' me? And then you squeeze my hand G as I'm about to leave [Chorus] C Are you really gonna talk about timin' in times like these? F And let all your damage, damage me Dm And carry your baggage up my street G C And make me your future history, it's time F You come a long way, open the blinds, let me see your face Dm You wouldn't be the first renegade, G Am to need somebody C Is it insensitive for me to say F G "Get your sh*t together so I can love you"? Am C Is it really your anxiety that stops you F from givin' me everything? G Or do you just not want to? [Break] Am C F G Am C F G [Bridge] Am And if I would've known C How sharp the pieces were that F you crumbled into G I might have let them lay [Chorus] C Are you really gonna talk about timin' in times like these? F And let all your damage, damage me Dm And carry your baggage up my street G C And make me your future history, it's time F You come a long way, open the blinds, let me see your face Dm You wouldn't be the first renegade, G to need somebody Am C To need somebody, you need somebody, F G Am to need somebody, to need somebody C Is it insensitive for you to say F G "Get your sh*t together so I can love you"? Am C Is it really your anxiety that stops you F from givin' me everything? G Or do you just not want to?
