[INTRO]
D Bm D Bm A G D Bm A .
[VERSE ONE]
D Bm I grew up pretendin' sticks were little guns
D Bm I would point 'em at my dad, and he'd get mad
A G 'Cause God forbid I hurt someone
G D I'd hurt anyone I could
D A Anyone who got too close, and anyone who wouldn't look
D Bm I was born into a one hundred year storm
D Foot of ice across Vermont
Bm A G And in that dark, and in that frost, a heart was formed
G D Malcontented and unwarm
Bm A You were unsuspectin', not unwarned
[CHORUS]
G D Em Bm That I'm the trouble ahead, that I scream in my sleep
G D Bm A You're puttin' money on red, I'm a sure bet at a losin' streak
G D Em Bm I keep showin' you doors, but you can't open them up
G D Bm 'Cause it gеts harder to see me the closеr you try to look
[POST CHORUS]
A G I just live here, babe, but you're the one who decided to knock
D You knocked
[VERSE TWO]
D Bm Have you ever stared directly at the sun?
D Bm Have you ever shared some closeness, so exposed
A G To have it spit back by someone?
D So, forgive me if I jump
Bm At the rattle of your keys
A G "Oh, are you leavin'?," "No, babe, I'm just wakin' up"
D And now what?
Bm I'm left starin' at the ceilin',
A G listin' reasons you should pack all your shit up
[CHORUS]
G D Em Bm That I'm the trouble ahead, that I scream in my sleep
G D Bm A You're puttin' money on red, I'm a sure bet at a losin' streak
G D Em Bm I keep showin' you doors, but you can't open them up
G D Bm 'Cause it gets harder to see me the closer you try to look
[POST CHORUS]
Bm A G I just live here, babe, but you're the one who decided to knock
G D You knocked
[INSTRUMENTAL]
D G D x2 .
[BRIDGE]
D I'll be gone so long before the anger comes
D Bm I'll be only what you've known of me 'til now
A G Oh, how I hope you're moving on
[CHORUS]
G D Em Bm 'Cause I'm the trouble ahead, and I scream in my sleep
G D Bm A You're puttin' money on red, I'm a sure bet at a losin' streak
G D Em Bm I keep showin' you doors, but you can't open them up
G D Bm 'Cause it gets harder to see me the closer you try to look
[POST CHORUS]
I just live here, babe, but you're the one
I just live here, babe, but you're the one
I just live here, babe, but you're the one
