[Verse 1]
A
I’m a walking compromise between what’s real and what feels alright.
D A
I read the letters you wrote, kept that lump in my throat and ache in my chest.
D A
I was playing by your rules another happy fool hoping for the best.
[Chorus 1]
A D
I don’t want to be a statue. I just want to get my way.
E A
Don’t care to be remembered. A picture and a date.
A D
Do it all for the moment. Do it all to fill the day.
E A
I move in tiny circles. I never lose my place.
[Verse 2]
A D
I was a couple years too late. I think we could of been something, could of done something great.
A
And I know it’s not wise dealing in “what ifs”.
[Bridge]
D A
I watched a bird get hit and dance between the asphalt and the grass.
D A
I wondered how something that grew so slow could change so fast.
D A
If I’ve learned anything, it’s that nothing in the world could come of that,
E D A
but all I’ve learned I’ve soon learned how to forget.
[Chorus 2]
A D
Cause I’ve stood on top of castles. Yeah I’ve slept on top of graves.
E A
Nothing lasts forever. The worms will have their way.
A D
And I move in tiny circles. Yeah I never lose my place.
E A
Do it all for the moment. Do it all to fill the day.
[Verse 3]
A E
There’s a box beneath my bed that I probably shouldn’t keep.
D A
It’s got pictures I don’t look at. It’s got letters I don’t read.
A E
I could put it in the ground. Make a holy place to pray.
D A
I could throw it in the fire. Pretend to walk away.
A E
We are sentimental losers. We are comfortable in doubt.
D A
When we come in for the landing. Everytime we’re coming down.
A E
There’s a box beneath my bed that I probably shouldn’t keep.
D A
It’s got pictures I don’t look at. It’s got letters I don’t read.
A
I’m a walking compromise between what’s real and what feels alright.
