Capo 5
[Verse]
G
I didn’t hear what you said
C G
Obviously, I’m not proud of myself and I’m wracking my brain
C D Em
But there’s not a price for guessing the weight on my shoulders
C D Em
Outweighs a ton and I fell every year I got older
C D G
I’m not surprised that you’re rubbing your eyes to stay warm
[Instrumental]
G Em C D
G Em C
[Verse]
D G
Well there’s a mouth to be fed
C G
I’ll work the days while you sleep in my bed and I’ll muster you the strength
C D Em
To promise you things that I never had dreamt of you asking me
C D Em
But you need my word it not easily heard when you’re fast asleep
C G C
I’ll write it down so you know that I’m yours till the end
[Verse]
D G
Turn your clothes inside out
C G
Show me the scenes that will hold back your dreams with a halfhearted row
C D Em
We both give up and fall back into love like a blanket
C D Em
It’s thinner than air but it’s warm I don’t care if you’re drunk tonight
C D G
When you drink too much I think maybe I don’t drink enough
[Instrumental]
G Em C
G Em C
[Chorus] (x2)
G Em
Let’s get up and go down to the lake where she drowned in our sleep
C D
All that I am isn’t lost because I’m still happy
G Em
When I met you felt like an air balloon powered by heat
C G
I’m gathering speed and I’m changing direction
C G
I need the wind like I need my reflection
C Em D
If I’m getting old, then I hope that you’re coming with me
[Outro]
