[Strophe]
C        Dm    Am  Am 
  Smeared black ink 
C      Dm             Am               Am 
  your palms are sweaty and I'm barely listening 
C       Dm  Am   Am 
  to last demands 
C                    Dm               Am             Am 
  I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath
[Refrain]

C         Dm  Am     Am 
  I'll wear my badge... 
C                      Dm                  Am       Am 
  A vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest 
C           Dm       Am     Am 
  That tells your new friends 
C        Dm           Am          Am 
  I am a visitor here... I am not permanent 
C           Dm  Am   Am 
  And the on-ly  thing 
C    Dm  Am  Am 
 keep-ing me dry is
[Refrain]

(Where I  am...) You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex 
F                             C                G                G 
(Where I  am...)  A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting 
F                          C            G              G 
(Where I  am...) And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving 
F      C  G               G 
            Why I was the one worth leaving

F                             C             G         G 
(Where I  am...) And send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening 
F                           C           G              G
