        A/C# 
of your whereabouts 
     D 
your whereabouts 
A                  A/C# 
  And I just can't see 
D                   A 
through the evidence 
It's evident It's 
         A/C# 
right in front of 
      D

A 
  I'm glad I have people 
       A/C#   D A 
I call friends   If it 
            A/C#

      D 
never have to miss you 
A 
  It's for the better in 
    A/C#         D

 best You have every 
         F#m 
right to be This appalled

with me Join the club

I signed up a long time

feel And when you decked 
               F#m 
me You left me knocked 
out on the floor 
       E 
I came too bloodied up 
but you weren't around 
            D 
I picked my teeth off 
the ground like they'd 
E            A   A/C# D E A A/C# D E 
been there before
