D        F#m      G
We both know I'm your placeholder
I'm stuck waiting getting older
We both know you're my placeholder
You hate crying on my shoulder

Chorus:
Em    G            D
I see all of my delusions
   A
I look the other way
I've been feeling like a nuisance
I take it day by day
G         D           A
I don't think we're closer
Em                 G
I know that we're getting older

I talk too much
It's funny how I'm always wrong
I try too hard
All the best things take too long
And I'm sick of waiting
‘Cause I've waited way too long

Chorus:
I see all of my delusions
I look the other way
I've been feeling like a nuisance
I take it day by day
I don't think we're closer
I know that we're getting older

We both know I'm you're placeholder
I'm stuck waiting getting older
We both know you're my placeholder
You hate crying on my shoulder

Bm          A           G
But you're not the only one
                  Bm
Feels like it sometimes
            A           G
But you're not the only one
We both feel dead inside

Chorus:
I see all of my delusions
I look the other way
I've been feeling like a nuisance
I take it day by day
I don't think we're closer
I know that we're getting older

We both know you’re my placeholder
(But you’re not the only one,
it feels like it sometimes)
You hate crying on my shoulder
(But you’re not the only one,
we both feel dead inside)
