[Intro] 
C Em7 F G C Am Dm7 G (x2)
[Verse 1] 
CEm7F I've been looking for love in all the wrong
G places
CAmFG Seeing your eyes in strangers' faces
CEm7FG Searching for God in all of my vices
CAmDm7G Staying out till the sunlit rises
 [Chorus] 
FG I, I light a cigarette
Am Call myself a cab
FGC If only you were here, it wouldn't be so bad
FFm Why do I always want the things that I can't
Em have?
G7sus4 G It's so sad
 [Verse 2] 
CEm7F I've been dancing all night and my feet are
G hurting
CAmDm7G Taking the pills, but they're still not working
CEm7FG Trying to get by in this lonely city
CAmDm7G I'm leaving tonight, do you wanna come with me?
 [Chorus] 
FG I, I know this little place
Am That we could go relax
FG Walk and run our fingers through the tips of the
C tall grass
FFm Why do I always want the things that I can't
Em have?
Dm7G It's so sad
 [Bridge] 
FmC Storms start to rise
FmC Helicopters are in the skies
AmEm I feel this joy, but then it dies
FE Why doesn't anybody realise
AmFC We're on the edge of paradise
GAmFCG We're on the edge of paradise
 [Verse 3] 
CEm7FG I've been staring at screens, my eyes are aching
CAmDm7G Losing my faith in this world we're making
CEm7FG Listening to my father scream and
CAmDm7G Laid on the bathroom floor just dreaming
 [Chorus] 
FG Of a time, a time we will look back
Am On all of this and laugh
FGC And slowly piece together all the bits of broken glass
 [Outro] 
FFmEm Why do I always want all the things I can't have?
Dm7G It's so sad
