My seats been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar

F
and I know I gave it to you months ago
Dm                                 Gm

Now I know that I'm not all that you got
Dm
I guess that I I just thought maybe we could find a ways to fall apart
Gm                                         Bb

The moon is on my side       I have no reason to run
                          C
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
F                           Dm                             F
The angels never arrived       but I can hear the choir
                         C
so will someone come and carry me home
