F#m A  F#m A  F#m A 


[verse]
E                                    A
Bend the desk lamp down to block the hated light
E                                     A
Roommate rolls around clock says it’s late at night
       F#m A  F#m A
Grab a pen
E                                A
Glows out the window through the leafless trees
E                                    A
Illuminates the bricks on the campus underneath
                  F#m
Where they’re all asleep
                      A  B
Put your head in your hands


[chorus]
        E                 A
And the space between the letters
          E                 A
Well it’s so much more than paper
      E               C#m                  A B
And I swear I can’t believe you’re on your own
        E                A
And the letters start to make words
        E                   A
And the words complete this sentence
  E               C#m                  A B
I swear I can’t believe you’re on your own
                F#m A  F#m A
In this college town


[verse]
  E                                   A
A lot of years have passed, I’ve only moved a mile
E                            A
Still cross the campus every once in a while
               F#m 
If it’s on the way
       A   B
To my apartment

[chorus]
        E                 A
And the space between the letters
          E                 A
Well it’s so much more than pixels
      E               C#m                  A B
And I swear I can’t believe you’re on your own
        E                A
And the letters start to make words
        E                   A
And the words complete this sentence
  E               C#m                  A B
I swear I can’t believe you’re on your own
                F#m A  F#m A
In this college town



[bridge]
E            F#m                   A
The bus stop bench, the courthouse steps
          B                        E
The pizza place with the emergency slice
             F#m             A
The day time bar, the beater car
               B                  E
The short cut across the railroad tracks
             F#m
This college town
             A
This college town
B            F#m
This college town
