A B5 D F#5 G

[Verse]

D                                 G
Wake up, coughing, tired, with my face in my hands,
  B5                          A        G
staring at the window as the sunlight demands action.
D                                A
All the energy it takes to close these bedroom blinds.
D                               G
Wrote this selfish sadness on a bathroom wall,
      B5                    A
spent half the span of some lost culture’s rise and fall,
   G                D              A
but I’m as clueless as a drooling four year old.

[Prechorus]

B5           G               A
Still hoping I might find the capacity
B5           G               A
to let you know I know you’re lonely.

a final slow dance through

the days that we all hold on to.

[Repeat chorus]

Here’s the promises I’ve made, tied too tight to undo.

An unwrapped gift from me to you.


[verse]

D                              G
All the slightly insane on the 18 North Main,
  B5                          A
reaching for a small-town downtown, night rain,
G                            D             A
nothing I could say could be worth saying anyway today.
D                               G
Like “Hey, whatever happened to what’s that guys’ name?”,
    B5                       A                G
we get a little older and it looks the same: askance.
           D               A
Excuse my failing sense of humour.
