[Intro]
Gsus4  Gadd4  x2
 
 
[Verse]
Gsus4                      Gadd4
And I don’t know where you went when you left me but
Gsus4            Gadd4              C6        Cmaj7
Says here in the water you must be gone by now
C6          Cmaj7
I can tell somehow
Gsus4           Gadd4
One hand on the trigger of a telephone
Gsus4              Gadd4
Wonderin' when the call comes
                     C6      Cmaj7
Where you say it’s alright
               C6       Cmaj
You got your heart right
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7
Maybe I’ll sleep inside my coat and
D
Wait on your porch ‘till you come back home
G
Oh, right
               Cmaj9
I can’t find a flight
 
G
We share the sadness
G
Split screen sadness
 
 
[Chorus]
G
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
 
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Cmaj9
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
 
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
 
 
[Verse]
G
"All you need is love" is a lie 'cause
 
We had a love but we still said goodbye
          Cmaj9
Now we’re tired, battered fighters
 
G
And it stings when it nobody’s fault cause there's
 
Nothing to blame At the drop of your name
              Cmaj9
It’s only the air you took and the breath you left
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   Am7
So maybe I’ll sleep inside my coat and
D
Wait on your porch 'til you come back home
G
Oh, right
               Cmaj9
I can’t find a flight
        Am
So I’ll check the weather wherever you are
        C                                      G
Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight
                    Cmaj9
It might be my only right
 
 
[Chorus]
               G
We share the sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
 
Split screen sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
              Cmaj9
We share the sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
 
Split screen sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
 
 
[Instrumental]
Em7 Dadd4 Cmaj9  x2
Gsus4 Gadd4  x2
 
 
[Bridge]
(single strum)
Gsus4
     I called
Gadd4
     because
Gsus4
     I just
Gadd4                  C6        Cmaj7
     Need to feel you on the line
           C6          Cmaj7
Don’t hang up this time
Gsus4                  Gadd4
     And I know it was me who called it over but
Gsus4                   Gadd4                Cmaj9
    I still wish you'd fought me ‘til Your dying day
 
Don’t let me get away
 
 
[Outro]
Am
 Cause I can’t wait to figure out what’s wrong with me
C                                            G
So I can say 'this is the way that I used to be
                          Cmaj9
There’s no substitute for time
            G
Or for the sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
 
Split screen sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
              Cmaj9
We share the sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
 
Split screen sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
            G
Oh and the sadness
 
It's alright, it's alright
 
Oh and the sadness
 
It's alright, it's alright
            Cmaj9
Oh and the sadness
 
It's alright, it's alright
 
Oh and the sadness
 
It's alright, it's alright(fade)
