n.c. Am7 Em
It's a choice to stay
Am7 Em
It's a dream & I wanna wake
Cmaj7 Em
You have blood on your hands and I'm feeling faint
Am7 B7
And honey You can't decide
Am7 Em
I'm a drug Ya don't wanna give up
Am7 Em
Smoke your cigarettes Make your love
Cmaj7 Em
You poured blood in my heart and I can't get enough
Am7 B7
I'm drowning, drowning and you can't decide

Am7
It's not about geography, or happenstance

you need to fly, & take a chance
Em* Eb/Em
You don't need to soar to emptiness
Em* Eb/Em Am7
Float on high, & forever dance alone
B7
Youre scared, scared, scared
Am7 Em
cuz I feel like home

Am7 Em (couple times)

Am7 Em
Hear your voice Knew right away
Am7 Em
If you were here your eyes would say
Cmaj7 Em
There is blood on my feet as I'm walking away
Am7 B7
Rivers are red Its starting to rain

Am7
I'm not gonna live for you or die for you

Won't do anything anymore for you
Em* Eb/Em
Cuz you leave me here on the other side
Em* Eb/Em
You leave me here on the other side

(repeat 3 times)

G Em
Not gonna shed one more tear for you
G Em
shed one more tear for you
G Em
I'm not gonna shed one more tear for you

At least not til Sunday Afternoon
Sunday Afternoon

G Em (couple times)
