The Longer That I'm Out Here Tab par Kevin Devine (Accords Baryton)

D#maj7                  A#
The longer that I'm out here the better you sound

                          D#maj7                 F
You're scrunching up your face in this picture I found

                      D#maj7               Gm
And I'm chasing after you, steadily losing ground

F             D# (strum twice)
I don't wanna forget so I'm writing it down


A#  Gm  F  A#  A#2


D#
Have you ever? No, never never?
A#
I find that hard to believe
D#
So let's burn the furniture
                A#
To see how angry a fire could make me


                         D#               F           Gm           A#
Now you say that there's someone that you need to reconnect with

                      D#                 F               Gm        A#
Some scarecrow from high school that you loved but never slept with

              D#                 F                 Gm   A#
A baby with a pipe dream playing hopscotch on your bandages


                        D#maj7                      A#
And I'm singing all his songs while I sleep on your couch

                  D#maj7                   F
I'm coughing up a lung but I'm covering my mouth

                       D#maj7
And I paint you on the wall

                       Gm
Yellow, red, green and brown

  F                D# (strum twice)            
I miss you all the time but I'm blocking it out


A#  Gm  F  A#  A#2


D#
Are you better? No, never never?
A#
What does that say about me?
                    D#
Now let's break the smoke alarm
                 A#
To see how scared locked windows'll make me


                     D#               F             Gm          A#
So you say there's a stranger staring sideways in a deep freeze

                  D#          F               Gm          A#
A loner draped in ivy playing slumlord in his city dream

                D#               F                   Gm                A#
A faker with an art form pulling magic tricks on the weak girls up his sleeve


                     D#maj7                     A#
And I'm choking right along with the words in my throat

                    D#maj7                   F
I'm falling back in love with the letter you wrote

                       D#maj7                     Gm
And I think that I was wrong, but I guess I don't know

F                  D# (strum twice)
I figure that I'll wait until you tell me so 

Bridge:
Gm  F  D#  Gm  F  Em    F

The longer that I'm out here 

                    D#maj7       F
The longer that I'm out here 

                    D#maj7       Gm    F
The longer that I'm out here 

                    D# (strum twice)
The longer that I'm out here the better you sound.
