A E F#m D Like a Saturday night I’ll be gone A E N.C. Like a Saturday night I’ll be gone before you knew that I was there
A E So you wrote it down I’m supposed to care F#m Even though it’s never there D Sorry if I’m not prepared
A E Is it hard to see the things you substitute F#m For me and all my thoughts of you D It’s eating me alive to leave you
A E F#m Maybe it’s childish and maybe its wrong D A But so is your blank stare is lieu of this song E N.C. Maybe it’s childish and maybe its wrong
A E F#m D Don’t want to be, don’t want to be wro- -ong A E D A You’re leaving me, you’re leaving me in lieu of this song A E F#m D Don’t want to be, don’t want to be wro- -ong A E D You’re leaving me, you’re leaving me in lieu of this, in lieu of this A song
A E I’m breathing in your skin tonight F#m Quiet is my loudest cry D A Wouldn’t want to wake the eyes that make me melt inside
A E And if it’s healthier to leave you be F#m May your sickness come and set me free D Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me
A E F#m I’m writing my own words, my own little stage D A My own epic drama, my own scripted page E F#m I’ll send you the rough draft, I’ll seal it with tears D N.C. Maybe you’ll read it and I’ll reappear A E F#m From the start it was shaky and the characters rash D A A nice setting for heartache where emotions come last E F#m Oh, I haven’t even sought to overcome this desire D D Dm Of friendly intentions and fare-weathered smiles
A E F#m D And I don’t want to be, don’t want to be wro- -ong A E D A You’re leaving me, you’re leaving me in lieu of this song A E F#m D Don’t want to be, don’t want to be wro- -ong A E D You’re leaving me, you’re leaving me in lieu of this, in lieu of this A song
A E F#m D Like Saturday night I’ll be go- -one A E F#m D Like Saturday night I’ll be go- -one A E F#m D Like Saturday night I’ll be go- -one A E D Ddim A Like Saturday night I’ll be gone before you knew that I was there
