Eb   Ab        Cm
Smeared black ink
Eb   Ab
Your palms are sweaty
Cm
I'm barely listening
   Eb  Ab Cm
To last demands
Eb                   Ab
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering
Cm
What's buried underneath

Ab Eb     Bb
Where I stand

Ab Eb    Bb

Eb  Ab      Cm
Wear my badge
Eb                     Ab
Vinyl sticker with big block letters
Cm
Adherent to my chest
       Eb  Ab         Cm
And it tells me where I am
Eb        Ab
I am a visitor here
Cm
I am not permanent and the
Eb  Ab  Cm
Only thing
Eb  Ab       Cm
Keeping me dry is

Ab          Eb
You seem so out of context
Bb
In this gaudy apartment complex
Ab         Eb
A stranger with your door key
Bb
Explaining that I'm just visiting
Ab       Eb         Bb
And I am finally seeing
                                Ab    Eb
Why I was the one worth leaving
Bb
I was the one worth leaving

Ab               Eb             Bb
And the district sleeps alone tonight
                                Ab
After the bars turn out their lights
             Eb
And send the autos swerving
Bb
Into the loneliest evening
Ab       Eb         Bb
And I am finally seeing
                            Ab     Eb
Why I was the one worth leaving
Bb                         Ab Eb Bb
I was the one worth leaving
Bb
I was the one worth leaving
