G  D  G
                      B5 Bb5                    G
I've been leaving messages on an answering machine
      Bm                              D              A
In a house that's always empty, so I know nobody's listening.
               Bm                            D
I've been confessing my transgressions over tape hiss
           G             D       Em
And the silence makes me sick.
             G
No good can come from this.

D F#m G G X2

            D
I'm letting go.
I've been holding on like poison ivy
          G
Out of cold suburban concrete
From this careless urban sprawl.
             D
I'm letting go.
You know we can't keep out of trouble.
             G
I thought my kids would call you uncle.
I thought we'd never be alone.

            B5 Bb5                 G
I've got images of you inside my head
    D
Outside of the gas station where we always used to shoplift.
                   Bm    D
It's car-crash rhetoric.
              G                              D  Em
We fucked up everything we came in contact with.
                   G
Just boyhood recklessness.

D A G G
D F#m G G

            D
I'm letting go.
I've been holding on like poison ivy
          G
Out of cold suburban concrete
From this careless urban sprawl.
             D
I'm letting go.
You know we can't keep out of trouble.
             G
I thought my kids would call you uncle.
I thought we'd never be alone.

D F#m G Em
D F#m G Bm

 D               Em                           Bm       A  G
If you walked me home, you'd know how weak my arms got.
               Em (I usually don't play this Em)
I just can't carry you.
Bm     F#m          G                    Bm      A
If you walked me home, I know I'd have flashbacks
    G               Em
Of snow angels and gut laughs.
Bm      F#m         G
If you walked me home... but you won't.
                Bm A           Em
You're all alone on some bullshit, pill-bottle vision quest.
D                   G                             A
If you walked me home, I don't know when I would finally
            Em                 G
Work up the backbone to walk alone.

            D
I'm letting go
            G
Cause I loved you, but I have to.
            D
I'm letting go.
You know we can't keep out of trouble.
              G
I thought my kids would call you uncle.
I thought we'd never be alone.
I'm letting go.
