Verse I 
B              F#        A              E* 
You climb six lonely sad stairs to your apartment 
      E                 F#m          G#                 F#m 
After another graveyard shift in the cold dull light of morning. 
B             Bb             G#                  F#m 
You walked in just in time to catch her as she's leaving 
         E                F#m                G#            F#       
But the schedules and the conflicts kept the roof over our heads. 

Pre-Chorus 
    E              F#m 
You said you were strong and naive and 
B           F#                    E* 
If you were scared, well, I would understand. 
                           B               F#m 
I don't think I would have had the guts to handle it. 

 
B      F#m       E             F#m 
All we had were hand-me-downs. 
B          F#m     E         F#m 
And all we had was good will 
        G#     A                 E* 
And you always said it would get better. 
                              B                       F#m 
"When you're young and you're poor, they hang on your failures." 
        G#     A                 E* 
And you always said it would get better.

We bought our first house at the advent of the 90s 
  E             F#m                 G#             F#m 
A Cape Cod on a busy street that we swore we'd fix eventually.

Winter of '93, we got by with kerosene 
  E              F#m            G#             F#m              E 
A heater in the living room, we huddled around shivering and me 
F#m              B 
Trying to get to sleep. 
   F#                     E* 
My clothes will smell of smoke for weeks. 
                      B 
Just trying to get to sleep. 
B 
To sleep,

To sleep...

I'm sick of seeing ghosts. I won't be here forever.

They held the wedding in a backyard near the city.

I was just one then, I would never remember it

But I heard the voices and implications 
G#                    F#m 
Telling me who I could never be.
