F
It's hard to fake when I’m not faded
Am
I thought I could repair myself
F
When you asked me, "What's the matter?"
Am                 G
The actor says he hates himself
F
When we collided in the morning
Am
Screamin' with the mission bell
F
We burnt the city without warning
Am                G
Reachin’ out for someone's help

Chorus:
F
How many times did we run from each other?
Am
How many times did I walk out the door?
F
Into the dark, we're no good for each other
Am                      G
Into the dark, I'm not welcome no more

                F
'Cause I been spendin' all this time alone
           Am                G
I'm on the red line, sinkin' Aperol
         F
Another vessel in a winter coat
    Am   G
(Ooh, ooh)

Lonely hours cut me so deep
The only part that gives me hell
a secret weapon no one showed me
Fall out of love, you lose yourself
Every hour tickin' by, I think about you
I reminisce your memory and what did I choose?
a sentimental comedy, the joke is on you
It's on me, too (Ooh)

Chorus

'Cause I been spendin’ all this time alone
I'm on the red line, sinkin' Aperol
Another vessel in a winter coat (Ooh)
Am I just waitin' for my time to go?
I hear the whistle for the doors to close
Another vessel in a winter coat (Ooh)
