Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Smeared black ink...
 your palms are sweaty
 And i'm barely listening
 to last demands
 I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath
 Where I am...
 Where I am...
 I'll wear my badge...
 a vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest
 That tells your new friends
 i am a visitor here... I am not permanent
 And the only thing
 keeping me dry is
 (Where I am)
 You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
 A stranger with your door key explaining that i am just visiting
 And i am finally seeing why i was the one worth leaving
 Why I was the one worth leaving
 D.C. sleeps alone tonight
 (Where I am)
 You seem so so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
 A stranger with your door key explaining that i am just visiting
 And i am finally seing why i was the one worth leaving
 Why I was the one worth leaving
 The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
 And send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
 And i am finally seeing why i was the one worth leaving
 Why I was the one worth leaving
 Why I was the one worth leaving
 Why I was the one worth leaving
