E B A
I'm pulling wings off insects
E B A
I'm peeling back my sunburnt skin
E B A
I'll wait outside your bedroom
E B A
I, I hope they let me in

[Verse 2]
E B A
I'm filling your prescriptions
E B A
The orange bottles stare me down
E B A
They're standing at attention
E B A
An army on your windowsill
[Pre-Chorus]
A B
We're all waiting for good news
E A
Hoping you can come home soon
F#m A
We're all waiting for good news
[Chorus]
E A
I've been acting like I'm strong
C#m B
But the truth is, I've been losing ground
F#m A
To a hospital too crowded,
E B
A summer winding down
F#m A B
I hadn't seen a heartbreak until now
F#m A E
I hadn't felt a heartbreak until now
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
E B A
I grew up on your back porch
E B A
And I watched the storms light up the clouds
E B A
They hung like paper lanterns
E B A
To guide the way back toward your house
[Pre-Chorus]
A B
I've been putting off long flights
E A
Hoping that you'll be alright
F#m A
And I'll be there in the meantime
[Chorus]
E A
I've been acting like I'm strong
C#m B
But the truth is, I've been losing ground
F#m A
To a hospital too crowded,
E B
A summer winding down
F#m A B
I hadn't seen a heartbreak until now
F#m A E
I hadn't felt a heartbreak until now
[Bridge]
E A
If I'm in an airport
E
And you're in a hospital bed
B E
Well, then, what kind of man does that make me?
A
If I'm in an airport
E
And you're in a hospital bed
B E
Well, then, what kind of man does that make me?
A
If I'm in an airport
E
If I'm in an airport
B E
What kind of man does that make me?
A
What kind of man does that make me?
[Chorus]
E A
I've been acting like I'm strong
C#m B
But the truth is, I've been losing ground
F#m A
To a hospital too crowded,
E B
A summer winding down
F#m A B
I hadn't seen a heartbreak until now
F#m A E
I hadn't felt a heartbreak until now
[Outro]
A B
Hadn't felt a heartbreak until now
A
Hadn't felt a heartbreak
F#m A
Oh the hospital's too crowded
E B
The summer's winding down
F#m A B
I haven't seen a heartbreak until now
F#m A E
Well I haven't felt a heartbreak until now
