[Verse 1] CF It’s ’91, a war is on
G I watch in black, white, and green
CF My mother dances around like there ain’t no rip
G in the seam
AmF While she waltzes with ghosts, I can feel what
G went wrong
CF She’s here, but she’s not
G Just like her, I’m not home
[Chorus] CFG (C) Just like her, I’m not home
CFG (C) Just like her, I’m not home
CFG (C) Yeah, I’m here, but I’m not
[Verse 2] CFG Storefronts change and the war on
G So I rip floorboards from our place
CF Black out all our windows and then I kick them
G from their frames
CF Now, you can dance with anyone
G You could tattoo yourself a fucking sleeve
CF ‘Cause you’re here, but you’re not
G Just like you, I can’t leave
[Chorus] CFG (C) Just like you, I can’t leave
CFG (C) Just like you, I can’t leave
CFG And I’m here, but I’m not
C I’m here, but I’m not
[Verse 3] CF Then someone new comes along, steals the weight
G from your war
AmC7 Flickers a light, and you’re sure that you have
F been here before
G G#dim Am She could have anyone, but she’s asking after
[ch]ch]your dreams CF Hey, I know what I’m not
G But looking at you, I can’t leave
[Chorus] CFG (C) Just like you, I can’t leave
CFG (C) Just like you, I can’t leave
CFG And I’m here, but I’m not
C I’m here, but I’m not
[Outro] CFG Said we’ve been gone just a little too long now
CFG
