            Em                  D                
Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you 
   C                  G
and hang them in my room
              Em                  
So when I'll wake up I'll be like 
  D                     G
"Yeah, everything's all right"
              Em                   D
You are still here, you are still happy.
               C                G
You are still smiling and laughing.
                  Em         
You are still the only thing 
    D                       G
and everything I need in my life
            G        D
And it goes in, in, out through the mouth
 Em                         D
Breathing exercises I will never figure out
         G
So I am running in circles or
 D
Walking in circles or
 Em
Crawling in circles or
 D               C
Lying on the ground.
 
 
    Am
And I
                    D                     G
Can hear your dog whistle from my bedroom.
  C
Yeah, yeah
    Am
And I
                       D
Can see a flashlight cuttin'
                        G
Up the trees behind my house.
      C
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

(X2)
 
 
                       Em  
She says a lot of the kids 
             D
we graduated with are now homeless
            C          
Which puts them in mad 
                       G
shady situations with mad shady people
  Em             D                          G
If not everyday, then on an every other day basis
                          Em               D
And she's probably with a few of them right now
                             C                   G
And they are probably just drinking and talking about
                         Em          D            G
How she misses gettin' fucked up and hangin' around
             Em   
And he says "Hey, 
                                   D            C
you're good at that" and she says "Thanks. It's kind of
       G                         Em            
All I got, " and then she looks away and says, 
      D          G
"It's also all I need"
           G             D
And I can smell plastic burning,
              Em               D
I can smell chemicals breaking down
            G           D
I got your last three emails,
                   Em
The ones where you said,
        D                   C
"I was sorting some things out"
    Am                      
And he will be able to hear 
         D                 G
her dog whistle from his bedroom
  C
Yeah yeah.
 
 
    Am
And I
                      D
Can see a flashlight cuttin'
                        G
Up the trees behind my house.
  C
Yeah yeah.
    Am
And I will read the flashing
        C
Like a Morse code explanation
                    G
Though it'll mean nothing
 
But take all night to figure out, out, out
 
 
Em D C G
Em D G G
 
 
     Em       D     
I am sad, I am sad. 
         C                  G
And I am happy, oh God, I'm happy
(Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you 
and hang them in my room)
               Em           D              G
There's just no place in between for us to meet
(So when I'll wake up I'll be like 

yeah everything's all right.)
         Em        D    
But I am sad, I am sad, 
              C                  G
but when I am happy, oh God, I'm happy
(You are still here, you are still happy. 
You are still smiling and Laughing)
                Em           D             G
There's just no place in between for us to meet
(You are still the only thing 
and everything I need in my life.)
          Em           
When I am sad, oh God, 
    D                  C           G
I'm sad, but when I'm happy, I am happy
(Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you 
and hang them in my room)
                   Em           D              G
And there's just no place in between for us to meet
(So when I'll wake up I'll be like, 
"Yeah, everything's all right")
          Em               D    
When I am sad, oh God, I'm sad, 
             C            G
but when I'm happy, I am happy
(You are still here, you are still happy. 
You are still smiling and Laughing.)
                     Em          D             G
And there's just no place in between for us to meet

I am sad
