[Intro]
         A E F#m D A E F#m D
(2, 3, 4)
 
[Verse 1]
A                 E              F#m  D
  Like a Saturday night I'll be gone
A                 E             D               Faug            A
  Like a Saturday night I'll be gone before you knew that I was there
 
[Interlude]
D E D
 
[Verse 2]
E                             D
  So you wrote it down I'm supposed to care
                 E
Even though it's never there
             D
Sorry if I'm not prepared   
E                                  D
  Is it hard to see the things you substitute
                  E
For me and all my thoughts of you
                D
It's eating me alive to leave you
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A          E                      F#m
Maybe it's childish and maybe it's wrong 
               D                           A
But so is your blank stare in lieu of this song
           E                       Bm D
Maybe it's childish and maybe it's wrong
 
[Chorus]
A                  E                 F#m D
  Don't want to be, don't want to be wrong
A                   E               D
  You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
A                  E                F#m D
  Don't want to be, don't want to be wrong
A                  E                D
  You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this, in lieu of this song
 
[Interlude]
A D E D
 
[Verse 2]
E                       D
  I'm breathing in your skin tonight
            E
Quiet is my loudest cry
                 D
Wouldn't want to wake the eyes that make me melt inside
D                          D
  And if it's healthier to leave you be
                        E
May a sickness come and set me free
                D
Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me
 
[Interlude]
A D A E A D E A D A
Ah, ah, ah,   ah
 
[Bridge]
A                E                        F#m
  I'm writing my own words, my own little stage
            D                      A
My own epic drama, my own scripted page
                  E                              F#m
I'll send you the rough draft, I'll seal it with tears
             D                   N.C.
Maybe you'll read it and I'll reappear
A                       E                        F#m
  From the start it was shaky and the characters rash
                   D                             A
A nice setting for heartache where emotions come last
                   E                       F#m
Oh, I haven't even sought to overcome this desire
              D                                  Dm
Of friendly intentions and fair-weathered smiles
 
[Chorus]
      A                 E                F#m D
And I don't want to be, don't want to be wrong
A                  E                D
  You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
A                  E                 F#m D
  Don't want to be, don't want to be wrong
A                E                  D
  You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this, in lieu of this song
 
[Outro]
A               E             F#m  D
  Like Saturday night I'll be gone
A               E             F#m  D
  Like Saturday night I'll be gone
A               E             F#m  D
  Like Saturday night I'll be gone
A               E             D               Ddim            A   D A
  Like Saturday night I'll be gone before you knew that I was there
