Slack-Key Tuning

E                             A
I've been obviously on the verge of a mental breakdown this week
         C#m                                A
Stuck between your dirty sheets and back-lit memories
             E                                    A
And I've been putting off things like getting my shit out of your apartment
           C#m                          A
I've been making up excuses about the things that you might need

            F#m                           A
And I've been trying to find out where everyone's been
             E               C#m
But they're nowhere and I'm nothing
             A                         B         E
And I've been trying to stay as busy as I can


          A
I finally broke on Christmas Eve
        C#m                               A
In an Outback Steakhouse bathroom while my family ordered for me
           E                     A
Haven't been losing sleep, no I pass out almost instantly
    C#m
The bad dreams get worse every week
              A
I think I'm losing a little of me


E                                  
I'm getting better, but it's in small steps
A
I'm working on sleeping on the left
  C#m         B                  A
I just can't blame New York for this
            E
And so I'm down again, but this time it's different
A                                    C#m
I'm mourning something that I miss
            B                 A
And that's better than being hopeless


E
I'm counting back on all my mistakes
A                                                   C#m 
From the back of the cop car where you told me you loved me
               B                A
'Cause after that night, I got scared and I'm sorry
    E             A            C#m    B    A
But hey, what can I say?


            F#m                          A
And I've been trying to find out where everyone's been
             E
But they're nowhere
          C#m
I'm still nothing
              A                     B
And I've been trying to find old friends


E                                A    B
I'm getting better, but it's in small steps
A                                    C#m
I'm working on sleeping on the left
              B                   A
I just can't blame New York for this

           E

A                                  C#m
I'm mourning something that I miss
           B                  A
And that's better than being hopeless


E
It's getting weird to think
C#m
About the house on Manson Street
        A
And how neither of us live there

It's probably empty
             E
She watches Breakfast at Tiffany's, it calms her completely
       A
I guess Sarah Marshall does the same for me
 C#m                            B                        A
It's nothing when she's leaning on me and saying she's sorry
E                              A                           C#m    B    A
I'm obviously on the verge of a mental breakdown this week
