The recording is nearly a quarter-tone flat (or it's in B and over a
quarter-tone sharp).
Key: C

So this is how the story ends
C Csus2 Fsus2
My enemies and my ex-best-friends
Am F
I hear you say I should make amends
Em F
But I doubt you, yes, I doubt you
Dusty space on the closet shelf
And darker spaces inside myself
Come to the light so we all can tell
Where I hide you, yes, I hide you
Gsus2 G5 Am7 Fsus2
And I push you down to the same dark corners
Em F G Gsus2
And I can't stop thinking about you
You sharpen words to keep us small
The time you took us to the wall
There was no-one there to break your fall
Then we lost you, yeah, we lost you
The tyrant king of the seventh grade
We knew your name when you flashed your blade
Wish I had been there to see your face
When they found you, yeah, they found you
And I push you down to the same dark corners
And I can't stop thinking about you
Am7 F G Em
Oooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Am7 F G Em
Oooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Am7 F G Em
Oooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Am7 F G5 Gsus2 G5
Oooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Photographs on the closet floor
The shapes of things that have come before
I was the one who was keeping score
It's not about you, it's not about you
I guess there's not much more to say
You should have known better anyway
That you'd end up in a song some day
It's about you, it's about you
Gsus2 G5 Am7 Fsus2
And I push you down to the same dark corners
Em F
And I can't stop, yes,
Gsus2 G5 Am7 Fsus2
I push you down to the same dark corners
Em F G Gsus2
And I can't stop thinking about you
C F
Yeah, thinking about you
C F C F C G
Yeah, I'm thinking about you
