C G C G
[Verse 1]
C G
I've been watching that one scene
D
from the Basketball Diaries
Em
Over and over again
C G
And I’m thinking that it could have been me
G Em
If I had just made a different turn instead
G
I'm feeling like I dodged a bullet
Bm C
But I walked into another line of fire
C G
Sure it didn't kill me but goddamn
G Em
if it hasn’t been hurting for a while
G Bm Em
[Verse 2]
C G
And I'm sorry if I'm being too pushy
Bm G Em
I'm sorry if I'm coming off insane
C G
I just need someone to turn to when all my
Bm C
friends figure out I'm not worth their time of day
G
So if you could just respond
G Em G Bm G
once that would be gr eat
[Chorus]
C Em G
And it's a felony in Florida to own a fake ID
C Bm
So tell me am I guilty if I change if no one is near me
C Bm C
And if I'm guilty, baby, tell me that you’re not guilty too
C
’Cause if I'm doomed to be locked
Bm G C Em
up at least let me think that I knew you
Bm C Em Bm
Let me think that I knew you OU OU
C G C G C G C G
[Verse 3]
C G
I’m fishing into the zeitgeist and I'm only pulling out clichés
C G
I can't shake this empty feeling that
Bm C
I'm an actor on a setting stage
G Em
I’m seeing white and I am not sure how much longer I can go
G Bm
Reimagining old faces
G C
Faces you already know
[Chorus]
C Em G
And it's a felony in Florida to own a fake ID
C Bm
So tell me am I guilty if I change if no one is near me
C Bm C
And if I'm guilty, baby, tell me that you’re not guilty too
C
’Cause if I'm doomed to be locked
Bm G C Em
up at least let me think that I knew you
Bm C Em Bm
Let me think that I knew you OU OU
[Bridge]
C Em Bm G
Watch Carroll bang on the door frame
C Em G
Reduced to sobbing and his mother’s name
C Em
And maybe in the next it'll
G C
find himself a little bit and fix this
C Em
God knows that I feel the same
[Outro]
(Rubato)
C G
And it's a felony in Florida to own a fake ID
