I Remember A Rooftop

Intro: 
E B (3x) 
C#m A 

Verse 1:
 
E            Abm             C#m 
I remember a rooftop, making out 
               A                      E 
Downstairs the coppers screamed so loud 
              Abm             C#m 
I'd waited so long for that night 
            A 
Then I just turned away 

Pre-Chorus 1: 

B                C#m               A 
And I know every street on the West-Side 
          E     B            A 
But I was lost, unfound, not right 
              E         B     A 
Maybe there's something wrong inside 

Verse 2:
 
E            Abm         C#m 
Now I've got nowhere to go 
            A               E 
My hands is all that I've got 
                 Abm        C#m 
I'm so sorry for so many things 
       A              B 
That I haven't said yet 

Pre-Chorus 2:
 
            C#m            A                   E 
This is the waiting-room I spend my whole life in 
               B                         A 
They gave me a thousand hands so I could count my sins 
       E                B                 A 
If I'm lucky maybe I'll finish before the roof caves in

E         B                 A 
I lost my life on the first try 
             Ab  
You found it miles down the line 
A         E                     B 
A swollen face with three first names 
E              B                A 
You kissed the taste back in my tongue 
               Ab  
You sucked the smoke out of my lungs 
A           E                  B 
And then we slept for days and days and days 
E       C#m  A   E            C#m    A 
When we woke up, my heart all choked up 
C#m    B                E       A 
Had to say "I love you" way too soon 
    E                   B                  A 
But right there on your couch you loved me too 
            E                 B        A 
Right there on your couch you loved me too

C#m A 

Verse 3:
 
E            Abm              C#m 
Nineteen and sober once or twice 
              A                 E 
I caught some junkie's bad advice 
         Abm             C#m 
Up to my eyes in others' problems 
         A                    B 
Couldn't see, I'd never solve them 

Pre-Chorus 3: 
         C#m               A              E 
I'm only skin and bone and piss and pills unknown 
          B             A 
I took my lousy shot at public recognition 
            E                B           A 
Could never pull the trigger if I wasn't shaking 


[Refrão]
 
E         B                 A 
I lost my life on the first try 
             Ab  
You found it miles down the line 
A         E                     B 
A swollen face with three first names 
E              B                A 
You kissed the taste back in my tongue 
               Ab  
You sucked the smoke out of my lungs 
A           E                  B 
And then we slept for days and days and days 
E       C#m  A   E            C#m    A 
When we woke up, my heart all choked up 
C#m    B                E       A 
Had to say "I love you" way too soon 
    E                   B                  A 
But right there on your couch you loved me too 
            E                 B        A 
Right there on your couch you loved me too
