C   Em   Am   G
Am  G


[Verse 1]
C           Em                 Am
I count the steps from where I am
   G
To where I started
C        Em                 Am
I tap my feet and close the door
             G
To your apartment
C                 Em          Am         G
And I know you're never gonna understand
C                  Em          Am
Its too late for you to stop and think
G
Too late to mention
C         Em        Am
I make a move and spill my drink
G
To break the tension
C            Em           Am
And I know youre never gonna understand
G
I'll try my best to follow if I can, but...


[Chorus]
F            G       Am    C
I would have let you leave
F            G       Am    C
I would have let you leave
F            G
I would have let you leave


[Verse 2]
C           Em              Am
The static waves across the screen
G
Define this notion
C          Em          Am
Back and forth and in between
G
Like my emotion
C           Em            Am
And I know youre never gonna understand
G
And won't you slow this down oh if you can
C                Em                  Am
You swayed your hips and stole the breath
G
That I was taking
C                Em                 Am
I touched your lips and held your hand
G
When they were shaking


[Chorus 2]
C           Em              Am
Look how we've fallen upon our knees
G
How we forgot it
C           Em              Am
These empty halls held our disease
G
Before we caught it
C           Em              Am
Now out the door and down the stairs from your apartment
F            G       Am    C
I would have let you leave x3


[Interlude]
C Em Am G


[Chorus 3]
C           Em              Am
The static waves across the screen
G
Define this notion
C           Em              Am
Back and forth and in between
G
Like my emotion
C           Em              Am
Now out the door and down the stairs
G
From your apartment
C           Em              Am
I count the steps from where I am
G
To where I started


[Outro]
F            G
I would have let you (x2)
F            G       C
I would have let you leave
