VERSE 1:
                     
I got shattered heart membrane
            
I got hair on end
            
I'm a sea of strangers
          
I'm my only friend
                   
I got bottom of the barrel
                 
Empty bottle in my hand
            
I'm all ears baby
                 
I'm an invisible man
          , , , 
Why'd you go?
          , , , 
Why'd you go?

---

VERSE 2:
                      
I got a million dollar headache
                  
I got a thermal smile
                 
I'm a sideshow tornado
                   
I'll only stay for a while
                  
I got a hole in my heart
                 
I gotta get out of town
                  
I'm a truckload of trouble
                   
I'm not fucking around
          , , , 
Why'd you go?
          , , , 
Why'd you go?
                                   , , , 
Why'd you go, and leave me here...  all alone?

---

VERSE 3:
                     
I got a drink special hairdo
                  
I got a grandfather stare
                 
I got a cop in my rearview
                     
That I wish wasn't there
                   
I got too much damn free time
                  
I've got nowhere to hide
                    
The whole world's on fire
               
But I'm frozen inside
          , , , 
Why'd you go?
          , , , 
Why'd you go?
                                   , , , 
Why'd you go, and leave me here...  all alone?

***NOTES:
The "Fsus2" can also be a "Csus4", but I used the 'F' notation so that you wouldn't get 
confused with the other regular 'C' when playing.  You can technically just play a 
"F" but if you want it to be perfect you have to play it as shown above in the "CHORDS USED" section.
