A E7sus4
Blacking in and out in a strange flat in east London.
A/C# D
Somebody I don't really know just gave me something
A E7sus4
To help settle me down and to stop me from always
A/C# D
Thinking about you.
A E7sus4
And you know your life is heading in a questionable direction
A/C# D
When you're up for days with strangers and you can't remember
A E7sus4
Anything except the way you sounded when you told me you didn't know what I
A/C# D
Should do.
E D E D
It's a long road out to recovery from here, a long way back to the light.
E D E D A
long road out to recovery from here, a long way to making it right.
A
And so I wake up in the morning
E7sus4
Just like every other day and
A/C#
Just like every boring blues song
D
I get swallowed by the pain,
A
So I fumble for your figure
E7sus4 A/C# D
In the darkness just to make it go away.
A E7sus4
But you're not lying there any longer and I know that it's my fault
A/C#
So I've been pounding on the floor and I've been
D A
Crawling on the walls and I've been dipping my darkness
E7sus4 A/C# D
For serotonin boosters, cider and some kind of smelling salts.
E D E D
It's a long road out to recovery from here, a long way back to the light.
E D E D A
long road out to recovery from here, a long way to making it right.
F#m D A
So on the first night we met you said well darling let's make a deal,
F#m D A
If anybody ever asks us well let's just tell them that we met in jail.
F#m D
And that's the story that I'm sticking to like a stony-face accomplice
A E
But tonight I need to hear some truth if I'm ever getting through this.
F#m D
Yeah, you once sent me a letter that said if you're lost at sea,
A E
Close your eyes and catch a tide my dear, and only think of me.
G D
Well darling now I'm sinking and I'm as lost as lost can be
E A
And I'm hoping you can drag me out from down here towards to my recovery.
A E7sus4 A/C# D x2
A E7sus4
If you could just give me a sign, just a subtle little glimmer,
A/C# D
Some suggestion that you'd have me if I could only make me better
A E7sus4 A/C# D
Then I'd stand a little stronger, as I walk a little taller all the time.
A E7sus4
Because I know you are a cynic but I think I can convince you
A/C# D
Yeah, 'cause broken people can get better if they really want to
A E7sus4
Or at least that's what I have to tell myself
A/C# D
If I'm hoping to survive.
E D E D
It's a long road out to recovery from here, a long way back to the light.
E D E D A
long road out to recovery from here, a long way to making it right.
A E7sus4
So darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover,
A/C# D
Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover,
A E7sus4
Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover,
A/C# D
Darling, sweet lover, one day this will all be over.
