F Em Dm C
For once there is nothing up my sleeve
F Em Dm C
Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me
F Em Dm C
I used to run at first sight of the sun
F Em Dm C
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up
F Em Dm C
The city outside still sounds like it’s on fire
F Em Dm C
You put on new sheets, the white flag of a Saturday night
F Em Dm C
I know we stayed up talking in circles
F Em Dm C
But I like to think the symmetry will keep me close to you
F Em Dm C
For everyone, I’m out to prove wrong, you keep the light on
F Em Dm C
The only one, you know me better than the truth
F Em Dm C
So despite what I’ve done I pray to God that we can move on
F Em Dm C
Cause thus far you are the best thing that this life is yet to lose
F Em Dm C
For once there is nothing up my sleeve
F Em Dm C
Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me
F Em Dm C
I used to run at first sight of the sun
F Em Dm C
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up
F Em Dm C
I lay here waiting for you to wake up
F Em Dm C
So if you're gonna leave, if you're gonna go
F Em Dm C
I can’t bear to sleep without you in my arms
F Em Dm C
I know we got caught up slipping through a crowd of people and losers
F Em Dm C
But you must not let them take you, they don’t know you like I do
F Em Dm C
For once there is nothing up my sleeve
F Em Dm C
Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me
F Em Dm C
I used to run at first sight of the sun
F Em Dm C
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up
F Em Dm C
I lay here waiting for you to wake up
Am G C F
Do you remember when we stayed up till the sun stretched through the room
Am G C F
I used to blame it on the queens walking down 7th Avenue
Am G C F
It’s been years now since we moved I’ve gotten through with an excuse
Am G C F
You know I try not to speak superlatives but it’s im?ossible to you
(Instrumental Interlude)
F Em Dm C
The city outside is nothing but a flicker now
F Em Dm C
You see our friends to bed, you turn out the lights
F Em Dm C
I start to think you’ll make a beautiful mother, I
F Em Dm C
I like to think I have everything I want from this life.
