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.
