Missing Person

F


[Verse 1]
     F                                           C/E      F
I am lipsticked like a tart in the cherry red of Côtes-du-Rhône
Bb              F           C     Bb
Prodding at the little fire of my phone
    F                                          C/E    F
The lights behind the bar twinkle like they've always known
     Bb               F        C      Bb
Only desperate little men ever drink alone


[Chorus]
                   Dm
But as long as I'm here
         Bb                  F  C/E
I'm disappeared and it's vanishing
      F       C/E    F     C  Bb   F
I'm a missing person doing my thing


[Verse 2]
   F                                 C/E      F
As midnight strikes I slip into this queen of dives
    Bb       F             C     Bb
And quietly oblivion like sleep arrives
      F                                     C/E      F
And I couldn't live without this sewer of a place to be
 Bb           F               C       Bb
Alone with my onе obsession - me, me, mе
      Bb             F
Yeah, I can hear you remonstrate
    C            Bb
You fool, that's three


[Chorus]
               Dm
What I'm doing here
               Bb             F  C/E
Ain't drinking beer, it's vanishing
      F       C/E    F     C  Bb
I'm a missing person doing my thing
       F       C/E    F     C  Bb
Just a missing person doing my thing


[Bridge]
            Am                        Bb
Missing the time I threw your crutch away
    Am               Bb
And ruined a perfect day
             Bb                 C
Now it’s all ruins from here to daybreak


[Instrumental]
| Dm    | Dm    | Bb    | Bb    | F    | C/E   |
| F  C/E  | Bb    | Bb    | C    | C    |


[Verse 3]
     F                                        C/E      F
So I hang on to my chair in this fish tank of sinking stars
Bb             F           C     Bb
Pickling their memories in Mason jars
      F                                              C/E     F
And I head out for a smoke leave your ghost there to hold my place
    Bb               F              C     Bb
And line up with the other cheaters in disgrace
     Bb         F              C     Bb
Like runners in exile from the human race


[Chorus]
                   Dm
But as long as I'm here
                 Bb          F  C/E
This last brutal year is vanishing
      F       C/E    F     C  Bb
I’m a missing person doing my thing
       F       C/E    F     C  Bb
Just a missing person doing my thing


[Outro]
      F   C/E  F   C   Bb  C  F
Hmmm, hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm
