Verse 1
GGoodbye Carolina I felt Bmcold and I felt weak
Took a Cmidnight bus from Asheville Passed
like a Emghost through TennesDsee
Brushed the Gnorthern edge of Blacksburg
Like your Bmhair off of your cheeks
I wish I could Cfall asleep
Half dead in the Emwindow seat
Awake for Dweeks
Interlude: G-Bm-C-Em-D
Verse 2
Good Gmorning, Manhattan
Stopped at BmPort Authority
I'll take the Ctrain under the river
The EmA out to the DG
And I'll Gwalk along your narrow streets
With a Bmdollar cup of coffee
Letting it Cstain my teeth
Two sugars, a Emdrop of cream
BitterDsweet
Interlude: G-Bm-C-Em-D
Verse 3
God Gdamn, I missed you Brooklyn
Caught my Bmbreath here on your streets
I left my Cwinter coat in Charlotte
And I'm Emcursing at the Dbreeze
I'm Ghiding out from early March
Read the Bmsign hung in our lobby
The elevator Cbroke last week
I walk the stairs to Em403D
Middle-Eight
I don't Emblame you for Dchanging the Clocks
I think I'd Emprobably do the Dsame if it were Cme
Now I'm Emgathering up the Dcourage to Cknock
Not sure what I'm Emlooking for I don't know Dwhat I want
Do I want Canything?
I don't want EmanythinDg
Verse 4
Some Gcollege student answers
My heart Bmcrash lands on the floor
He says he Csublet this place last month
He never Emheard of me beDfore
He Gsees me there collapsing
And he Bmopens up the door
It's all new Cfurniture
I barely Emrecognize it anyDmore
-Outro]
He says, I'm Emsorry, man. I Dwish that I knew Cmore
I'm not Emsure exactly Dwhat you're looking Cfor
No DiEmanne, no, she don't Dlive here anyCmore
EmDianne don't Dlive here anyCmore
