Blacking in and out in a strange flat in East London
C F
Somebody I don't really know just gave me something
C G C F
To help settle me down and to stop me from always thinking about you
C G
And you know you're life is heading in a questionable direction
C F
When you're up for days with strangers and you can't remember anything
C G C F
Except the way you sounded when you told me you didn't know what I should do
G F G
It's a long road up to recovery from here
F C
A long way back to the light
G F G
It's a long road up to recovery from here
F C
A long way to making it right
C G
And so I wake up in the morning just like every other day
C F
And just like every boring blues song I get swallowed by the pain
C G C F
So I fumble for your figure in the darkness just to make it go away
C G
But you're not lying there any longer and I know that that's my fault
C F
So I've been pounding on the floor and I've been crawling up the walls
C G
And I've been dipping in my darkness for serotonin
C F
boosters cider and some kind of smelling salts
G F G
It's a long road up to recovery from here
F C
A long way back to the light
G F G
It's a long road up to recovery from here
F C
A long way to making it right
Am F C
So on the first night we met you said well darling let's make a deal
Am F C
If anybody ever asks us let's just tell them that we met in jail
Am F
And that's the story that I'm sticking to like a stony-faced accomplice
C G
But tonight I need to hear some truth if I'm ever getting through this
Am F
Yeah you once sent me a letter that said If you're lost at sea
C G
Close your eyes and catch the tide my dear and only think of me
Bb F
Well darling now I'm was sinking I'm as lost as lost can be
G C
And I was hoping you could drag me up from down here towards my recovery
G C F
C G
If you could just give me a sign just a subtle little glimmer
C F
Some suggestion that you'd have me if I could only make me better
C G C F
Then I would stand a little stronger as I walk a little taller all the time
C G
Because I know you are a cynic but I think I can convince you
C F
Yeah cause broken people can get better if they really want to
C G C F
Or at least that's what I have to tell myself if I am hoping to survive
G F G
It's a long road up to recovery from here
F C
A long way back to the light
G F G
It's a long road up to recovery from here
F C
A long way to making it right
G
So darling sweet lover won't you help me to recover
F
Darling sweet lover won't you help me to recover
G
Darling sweet lover won't you help me to recover
F C
Darling sweet lover one day this will all be over
