  A#m                                  G#
"Don't go borrowin' trouble," that's what you
used to say
     D#                               F#
But we don't keep in touch the way we used
to nowadays
     A#m                           G#
Your eyes are not as bright as I remember
them to be
      D#                                 F#
The light inside's grown dim and that's hard
             Fm7
for me to see

The creases on your forehead run like treads
on a tire
The white stripe runnin' through your bangs
a long twisted spire
You're sweepin' up the floods and you've b
een vacuumin' the fires
And you lay down every night next to
a goddamn liar

Chorus:
    A#m7                      G#
You may be here today, but tomorrow, you're a ghost
              D#                             F#
I guess the most someone can hope for is to find
a place to lay
    A#m                                   G#
Someone to tell your secrets to when the nights
get long and blue
           D#                              F#
Someone strong enough to lean on when the roses
fall away
 F#                                    Fm7
Strong enough to love you when you're wrong
          F#                              Fm7
Someone strong enough to love you when you're
 A#m G# D# F#
Wrong

When the day is winding down, my heart
abandons me for you
You forgot yourself so long ago and
I wish I could too
But you live inside a quiet hell no one
can pray away
Leavin' would be easy, I understand why you stay

Chorus:
You may be here today, but tomorrow,
you're a ghost
I guess the most someone can hope for is
to find a place to lay
Someone to tell your secrets to when
the nights get long and blue
Someone strong enough to lean on when
the roses fall away
Strong enough to love you when you're wrong
Someone strong enough to love you when you're
When you're wrong
Mm

You'd be wrong if you were thinkin' that we
all don't fade away
Like dew drops in the dawn, like sun beams
through the haze
It's a long way to be sinkin', holdin'
tightly to the weights
Of the one who pulls you down while you
slowly waste your days

Chorus:
Someone strong enough to love you when you're wrong
Someone strong enough to love you when you're
Wrong
When you're wrong

Ooh-ooh
When you're wrong
Ooh, ooh
