[Verse]
Cmaj7
a high school graduate
G
told me what it was like to look back on the past
cause dreams never last
Cmaj7
he told me it smelled of helium
G
and dark brown bottles on a muddy floor
they're banging at your door
Cmaj7 G
a fresh pack of coloured pens, the weekend's begun again but she'll be
Em Am
sipping on her white duvet, with a rabbit and some chardonnay
C
she'll be dreaming
Cmaj7
a poet told me he couldn't find the words
G
he felt a dizziness like the rolling clouds
so he replaced them with a vowel
Cmaj7
a sharp pinch when the doors hinge
G
the smell of early dew and paling snow
do you miss what you didn't know?
Cmaj7
a paper cup in the pouring rain, a missed flight on a holiday
G Em Am
a picnic blanket stained in may, sugar in your chardonnay
Am
bought an old stack of letters from jane
G
to distract me
