[Gm]Tomorrow I'm going to [Fm]move and change my clothes
[Cm]Just black on [E/Db]black and nothing else
[Bb5]I'll just [F]let it go
[Cm]Oh, tonight I'm [E/Db]gonna scream and medicate
[Bb5]'Cause it's too late to [F]beg someone for some relief
[Cm]And emptiness [E/Db]is filling me
[Bb5]I'm gonna move [Cm]back to zero
[F]I'm gonna [E/Db]leave no doubt
[Cm]I'm gonna [E/Db]zero you out
[Bb5]In the [Ab]bold days

[Ab]You got a good light above a [Gm]motorcycle shot and we live on top
[Fm]And I wonder if you knew the pain [Ab]I went through to keep from calling you
[Fm]One pair of black [Cm]jeans, one black sweater
[Bb5]And outside the [Ab]concrete cripples with danger
[Bb5]Danger makes you wonder [F]what's gonna happen next
[Bb5]Room to grow, [Ab]space to connect
[Cm]I'm alive now and [Bb5]I don't just exist
[Cm]Still hold out for [Bb5]that long slow kiss
[Cm]I've been in [Ab]love with her
[Cm]I speak [Bb5]in perfect Japanese
[Cm]Oh, no, no, are [Ab]you gonna do it?
[Cm]I think [Bb5]I'm through now
[Cm]I'll mention all [Ab]the black jeans
[Bb5]Go, go, go, [Cm]go, go, whoo
[Ab]Back to zero [Cm](back to zero)
[E/Db]Back to zero (I'm [Bb5]gonna leave no doubt)
[Cm](I'm gonna [G]zero you out)
[E/Db]Haunted
[Bb5]No guarantees, sometimes [Gm]it's enough to breathe
[Fm]And get through one [Cm]more day of missing you
[E/Db]Get through one more [Bb5]day of missing you
