       B            E
She's asleep in the backseat
        F#         E
Looking peaceful enough to me
           B           E
But she's wakin' up inside a dream
          F#        E        F#
Full of screeching tires and fire
       B                      E
We're comin' back from where no one lives
 F#               E
Pretty much just veterans
        B                     E
When I pointed out where the North Star is
 F#              E
She called me a fuckin' liar

Chorus:
    E                   B       F#
And Emily (Emily), I'm sorry, I just
E             G#m    D#m
Make it up as I go along
     E             B      F#
Yet, I can feel myself becoming (I can feel myself)
 E              G#m     F#
Someone only you could want

Headed straight for the concrete
In a nightmare, screaming
Now I'm wide awake, spiraling
And you don't wanna talk
Just take me back to Montreal
I'll get a real job, you'll go back to school
We can burn out in the freezing cold
And just get lost

Chorus:
Emily, I'm sorry, baby (Emily, I)
You know how I get when I'm wrong
(You know how I get)
And I can feel myself becoming (I can feel)
Somebody I'm not, I'm not, so
Emily, forgive me, can we (Emily, I)
Make it up as we go along?
I'm twenty-seven and I don't know who I am
(Don't know who I am)
But I know what I want

    B      F#    E
Emily, I'm sorry
    B      F#    E B
Emily, I'm sorry
    F#    E
I'm sorry
