      E                      C#m
I'll never be the type of guy
                                     B
Who could stand at Hollywood and Vine
                                      A
Without feeling like some kind of creep
     E
Yeah...

I'll always be uncomfortable
With every paper friend that I have lost
Depending on the day, the week
And how much I have had to eat

E
Foot on the table
                C#m
Head on the ground
B
I tried to tell you
               A
I'll come around

Chorus:
                 E
And all that it takes is some time
Is some time apart
       C#m
Asking questions, digging graves
Buried in the dark
               B
All that I've taken
All that you make me
                   A
Someone you wanna love
            E
Then every time
I behave like somebody who
       C#m
In the end, doesn't get that I rely on you
               B
All that I've taken
All that you make me
                   A
Someone you wanna love
One you want, one you want
             E
Want, oooh, want

And now all I hear is open season
I got held back by sarcastic demons
Hiding in our bathroom floor
Then right behind was someone floating
And right before that wall burst open
I swear to God I heard you call

Foot on the ceiling, head on your knees
I pray to Kanye you'll never leave

Chorus:
'Cause all that it takes is some time,
is some time apart
Asking questions, digging graves, buried in the dark
All that I've taken, all that you make me
Someone you wanna love
Then every time I behave like somebody who
In the end, doesn't get that I rely on you
All that I've taken, all that you make me
Someone you wanna love
One you want, one you want, want, want

                                  B
But I'm old enough to finally get it
    F#m                                C#m
The moon and stars don't follow when I run
                                  B
And the sky above is not my canvass
        F#m                                    C#m
And the trees, the trees don't wither when I'm gone
                                               B
But it's like something, something, pure emotion
          F#m                                   C#m
It's like something, something, love you till I drop
                                A
And I see it all with eyes wide open now
     B
Yeah...
Yeah...

Chorus:
'Cause all that it takes is some time,
is some time apart
Asking questions, digging graves,
buried in the dark
All that I've taken, all that you make me
Someone you wanna love
Then every time I behave like somebody who
In the end, doesn't get that I rely on you
All that I've taken, all that you make me
Someone you wanna love
One you want, one you want, want, want
