Call Me Back

[Verse 1]
           Bb                                   Cm
Running on empty, I waited years in a past life
                                         Eb
Running out of rope and the water's high
                                         Cm
I drowned for you and I didn't regret it
                Gm                  Bb
Don't text me back in the afterlife
                                  Cm7
Needed the time, I didn't realize
                                             Eb
I had it all along, can't take my own advice
                                  Gm
Conflated, filling the gaps for love
 
[Chorus]
         Bb
And it's obvious
          Cm
That I'm caved in and breaking up
                 Eb
But I know it's good
 
I know it's good
             Cm
Though it's over now
        F                  Bb
In my dreams, you call me back
                Ebmaj7
But I hope you don't
 
I hope you don't, uh
 
[Verse 2]
               Cm7
I hope you're gone and lost in better days
                         Gm
I've been watching the time, how it erodes away
                        Ebmaj7
Thinking 'bout how the last years feel like yesterday
                Bb
How did I lose grip on it?
G                             Cm
Honest, been falling through nightmares lightyears away
              Gm
And doing my best to keep those thoughts at bay
                Eb
And finding my highlights in the loudest places
                 Bb                             Fm       F
And strangers' faces, getting caught up in the race of it
 
[Verse 3]
 
                        Ebmaj7
And walking through the clearing crowd
 
If we took our chances (when it's time to go)
     Bb            Eb
But we exchanged glances, yeah
                 G
Call it in the moment (when did I lose all this love?)
     Eb                                  Gm
And walking down the road that I grew up on
     Eb             Bb
And falling out of habits
         Gm           Gm7
Stopped bleeding for empathy's sake
 
[Chorus]
         Bb     Bb/A
And it's obvious
          Cm                    Cm7
That I'm caved in and breaking up
                 Bb
But I know it's good
             Eb
I know it's good
             Gm   Bb
Though it's over now
        Eb                  Dm
In my dreams, you call me back
                Cm
But I hope you don't
Bb           Gm
 I hope you don't (Oh oh)
 
[Verse 4]
 
                Bb         Cm                                           Eb
'Cause I don't need you to tell me (I'm walking through the clearing)
                                    Gm7         Cm     Eb
(Breaking, breaking up) I, I don't need you to tell me    that
         Gm7          Cm     Eb
I don't need you to tell me     that (and walking down the road that I grew up on)
             Gm7        Cm    Eb
Oh, I don't need you to tell me
 
[Instrumental Transition]
Cm     Gm7     Bb
 
[Verse 5]
 
                Cm
It's okay, I'm going
      Eb                    Gm
I'm searching for what I am now
Bb                    Cm7
    Find you if it's urgent
            Eb                    Gm  Gm7
Or if I'm hurting more than I am now
Bb                            Cm7
    And we'll come back here someday
            Eb                               Gm
And laugh about it, memories that don't know
Bb                          Cm                          Eb
    How it felt like I was burning while you weren't watching
                   Gm
Took everything I loved
                        Bb   Cm
Now nowhere feels like home (home)
                        Eb   Gm
Now nowhere feels like home (home)
                        Bb   Cm7
Now nowhere feels like home (home)
 
Gm
 
[Outro]
 
Bb         Cm
     Yeah
Eb         Gm7
      Ooh
                        Bb
Now nowhere feels like home
 
Been a long life, still got mad time
               Cm7
Took a wrong right on it last time
                                Eb
Through the long night, made it out alright
 
Told my brother, "Hold tight"
      Gm
Some times, I can feel it
               Bb
Some times, I still
              Cm7
Sometimes, I feel
       Eb
Some times
 
[Fade out]
      Bb                   Cm
Now nowhere feels like, nowhere feels like home (oh)
      Eb                      Gm
Now nowhere feels like home, nowhere feels like home
      Bb                        Cm
Now nowhere feels like home (nowhere feels like home)
Eb                         Gm
Nowhere feels like–
