Left And Leaving Tab

Intro:        x2

Verse 1:
                                         
  My city's still breathing, but barely it's true
                                   
Through buildings gone missing like teeth
                                      
The sidewalks are watching me think about you
                 
Sparkled with broken glass
   /              
   I'm back with scars to show
    /            
   Back with the streets I know
    / 
Will never take me anywhere but here.

Verse 2:
                                      
  The stain in the carpet, this drink in my hand
                       
The strangers whose faces I know
                                    
We meet here for our dress rehearsal to say
        
"I wanted it this way"
    /         
   Wait for the year to drown
      /            
   Spring forward, fall back down
    /                         /  /  / 
I'm trying not to wonder where you are.

Bridge:
/     /     /
     All  this   time
/      /  /
     Lin - gers   undefined
/       /  /
     Should  one  choose
          
   Who's left and who's leaving

(Intro 1x)

Verse 3:
                               
    Memory will rust and erode into lists
                    
Of all that you gave me
                                     
A blanket, some matches, this pain in my chest
                   
The best parts of lonely
     /           
Duct tape and soldered wires
  /          
New   words for old desires
    /
And every birthday card I threw away

Verse 4:
  /       
    I  wait  in 4/4 time
      /        
    Count yellow highway lines
     /                                    
That you're relying on to lead you home.
That you're relying on to lead you home.
That you're relying on to lead you home.
