[Verse]
E
It's nice to be home
E/A B7
It's nice to indulge in new interests
E
Finish the gin
E/A B7
Plug in the circular saw and get down to business
B7/C Am/C# E/A
I usually don't care who says what
E E/B
On the internet
E/A Am
I don't usually regret
E
But I'm often afraid
E/A B7
And anxious that all this is endless
E
Living inside spaces where old disagreements
E/A B7
Are ever so briefly suspended
B7/C Am/C# E/A
Sometimes I suspect in some ways
E B7
I would rather not wake up
E/A Am
After sleeping
E
But you make me feel loved
E/A B7
I still like to look at your pictures
E
Heaven is soft
Hell is a short walk
E/A B7
Indiana is twelve hours from home
B7/C Am/C# E/A E E/B
I wish I could say that I know what you wanna hear
E/A
Then say it
Am
Then say it again
Am
Like a lullaby
