Joana In Five Acts

B                            G#m
Birthday cards on the fridge
              B
Hung next to pictures of me and you
B                                 G#m
I set them right the day you died
              B                                   F#
But couldn’t bring myself to throw them right away
       G#m
Goodbye

[Interlude]

B E B E B E G#m F# (x2)

[Verse]

B
The day he called: impossible
                                                 B
You’re drifting out inside the room where I was born
                                 G#m
I held you up, not strong enough
             B                                   F#
Said my goodbyes and watched your smile fade away
              G#m
It’s not right

[Chorus]

   B
I can't be honest
      F#     E             B
I’m a bit demolished when I’m
                        F#              E
Picturing holding your body in the room
           B
The white sheets I’m facing;
    F#       E                 B
My nervous pacing that you’re just another heart
               F#           E              C#m      E   B   F#
That I can’t bring back to this side of the ground

[Bridge]

C#m                E
....Now I’m scared
                          B
of what a stranger might say to me
    F#                            C#m
And I can’t keep my demons at bay
             E
I’m paranoid
                       B
and showing every indication
        F#                      C#m
Talking more to myself each day
              E
I’m paranoid
                 B
And given every reason
                    F#
for why you had to leave
                        C#m
But why’d you leave without me?
                   E
why’d you leave without me?
                   B
why’d you leave without me?
                   F#
why’d you leave without me?
                   C#m
why’d you leave without me?
                   E
why’d you leave without me?
                   B
why’d you leave without me?
F#
.....So where'd you go?

[Interlude]

C#m E B F# (x2)

[Outro]

          C#m
I’m too lazy to leave my home
             E
I’m far too bored to let it go
         B
Like it mattered in the end
            F#
Or like it did any good
                          C#m
while you were still here
                     E
I can’t pick up the phone anymore
                     B
I won’t pick up the phone anymore
                       F#
I’m always just stuck missing you
                            C#m
now that you’ve disappeared
              E        Em      B
So why’d you leave without me?
