Bb Dm
I can't imagine all the people that you know
Gm
and the places that you go
Eb Bb
when the lights are turned down low
Dm
and I don't understand all the things you've seen
Gm
but I?m slipping in between
Eb Bb Dm
you and your big dreams
Gm
it's always you
Eb
in my big dreams
Bb Dm
and you tell me that it's over
Gm Eb
wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clovers
Bb Dm
and your restless, and I'm naked
Gm
you've gotta get out
Eb Bb
you can't stand to see me shaking
Dm
no
Gm
could you let me go?
Eb
I didn't think so
Bb Dm
and you don't wanna be here in the future
Gm Eb
so you say the present's just a pleasent interruption to the past
Bb Dm
and you don't wanna look much closer
Gm Eb Bb
cuz your afraid to find out all this hope you had sent into the sky by now had??
Dm Gm
Crashed?? and it did
Eb (Cm*) Bb
because of me
F Gm
and then you bring me home
Eb Bb
afraid to find out that you're alone
F Bb F Gm
and I'm sleeping in your living room
F [Bb Dm Gm Eb Bb]
but we don't have much room to live
Dm
I had these dreams that I learned to play guitar
Gm
maybe cross the country
Eb
become a rock star
Bb Dm
and there was hope in me that I could take you there
Gm
but dammit you're so young
Eb Bb
well I don't think I care
Dm
and if I hurt you
Gm
then I'm sorry
Eb (Cm) Bb
please don't think that this was easy
F Gm
then you bring me home
Eb Bb
cuz we both know what it's like to be alone
F Bb F Gm
and I'm dreaming in your living room
F [Bb Dm Gm Eb Bb]
but we don't have much room to live
Dm
and Konstantine is walking down the stairs
Gm
doesn't she look good
Eb Bb
standing in her underwear
Dm
and I was thinking
Gm
what I was thinking
Eb [Bb Dm Gm Eb Bb]
we've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere
Dm
my Konstantine came walking down the stairs
Gm Eb Bb
and all that I could do is touch her long blonde hair
Dm
and I've been thinking
Gm Eb [Bb Dm Gm Eb Bb Dm Gm Eb]
it hurts me thinking that these nights when we were drinking no they never got us anywhere?? no
Bb Dm
this is because I can spell konfusion with a ?k? and I like it
Gm Eb
it's to dying in another's arms and why I had to try it
Bb Dm
it's to Jimmy eat world and those nights in my car
Gm Eb
when the first star you see may not be a star
Bb Dm
I'm not your... star
Gm
isn't that what you said
Eb [Bb Dm Gm Eb]
what you thought this song meant
Bb
and if this is what it takes
Dm
just to lie in my mistakes
Gm
and live with what I did to you
Eb
and all the hell I put you through
Bb
I always catch the clock
Dm Gm
it's 11:11 and now you want to talk
it's not hard to dream
Eb Bb Dm
you'll always be my Konstantine
Gm Eb Bb
Konstantine, they'll never hurt you like I do
Dm
no they'll never hurt you like I do
Gm Eb
no, no, no no no no no no
Bb
this is to a girl who got into my head
Dm
with all the pretty things she did
Gm
hey?. you know
Eb
you keep me up in bed
Bb
this is to a girl who got into my head
Dm
with all the fucked up things I did
Gm
hey? maybe..
Eb
baby you could keep me up in bed
Bb
my Konstantine
Dm Gm Eb
spin around me like a dream we played out on this movie screen
and I said
Bb [Dm Gm Eb Bb Dm Gm]
did you know I missed you? (x7)
Eb (Cm) Bb
oh god I miss you
F Gm
and then you bring me home
Eb Bb
and we'll go to sleep, but this time, not alone, no no
F
and you'll kiss me in your living room
Gm F
I know you'll miss me in your living room
Gm F Bb F Gm
cuz these nights I think maybe that I'll miss you in my living room
F
we don't have much room
Gm Eb
I said does anybody need that room?
Gm F
because we all need a little more room
Bb Gm
to live
Eb Bb
my Konstantine....... (phew)

* note. You can play the song without the (Cm) but I think it sounds good
to play the Cm chord (right hand) while still playing (Eb) with left.
