[Intro]
A F#m E (x2)
[Verse]
A F#m
Try to take nothing for granted
E D
like breakfast, and breathing, and short term memory
A F#m
Sometimes it gets so cold you almost cant stand it
E D
to remember is to be reminded so insensitively
[Chorus]
Bm D
But its hard not being told who to be
Bm D E
The tradeoff is incredible just to feel that you're free
[Verse]
A F#m
The best trapeze artists perform with no nets
E D
No one ever won a jackpot on a gentleman's bet
A F#m
Yeah, you wake up from your best dream just to find your bed wet
E D E
What life ever comes without a hint of regret?
A F#m
So you can drive to Indiana, visit your metal friends in Savanna
E D
Or fly to England on a plane
A F#m
And no, no one can say that you are far away
E D
There are memories, warm feelings which will always remain
[Chorus]
Bm D
Like college radio late nights, and heart to hearts, curbsides
A E
The sheer beauty of which there are not words to explain
[Verse]
A F#m
The ghosts in the attic sure beat TV static
E D
We were up all night, quite close to insane
Bm D E A
And all the time learning from each other how to keep out the rain
[Outro]
A E F#m
we do not demand surrender
D A F#m E
its not the reason why we came
F#m G Gm D
all we ask is, "may we enter?"
G Gm D A Bm
and wonder, is everything okay?
