[Verse]
A~ E7sus4~
Blacking in and out in a strange flat in East London
A/C#~ Dsus2~
Somebody I don't really know just gave me something
A~ E7sus4~ A/C#~ Dsus2~
To help settle me down and to stop me from always thinking about you
A~ E7sus4~
And you know you're life is heading in a questionable direction
A/C#~ Dsus2~
When you're up for days with strangers and you can't remember anything
A~ E7sus4~ A/C#~ D E
Except the way you sounded when you told me you didn't know what I should do
[Chorus]
E7 Dsus2 E
Well, it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 Dsus2>A/D>Asus2/D E
A long way back to the light
E7 Dsus2 E
A long road up to recovery from here
E7 D
A long way to making it right
[Verse]
A E7sus4
And I've been waking in the morning just like every other day
A/C# Dsus2
And just like every boring blues song I get swallowed by the pain
A E7sus4 A/C# Dsus2
So I fumble for your figure in the darkness just to make it go away
A E7sus4
But you're not lying there any longer and I know that that's my fault
A/C# Dsus2
So I've been pounding on the floor and I've been crawling up the walls
A E7sus4 A/C# D E
And I've been dipping in my darkness for serotonin boosters, cider and some kind of smelling salts
[Chorus]
E7 Dsus2 E
Well, it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 Dsus2>A/D>Asus2/D E
A long way back to the light
E7 Dsus2 E
A long road up to recovery from here
E7 D
A long way to making it right
[Bridge]
A6add9~ Dsus2~ A E/G#
So on the first night we met, you said well darling lets make a deal
A6add9~ Dsus2~ A Asus4>A>Asus2 E/G#
If anybody ever asks us, let's just tell them that we met in jail
A6add9 Dsus2
And that's the story that I'm sticking to like a stony faced accomplice
A E/G#
But tonight I need to hear some truth if I'm ever getting through this
A6add9 Dsus2
Yeah, you once sent me a letter that said if you're lost at sea
A E/G#
Close your eyes and catch the tide my dear and only think of me
G D
Well, darling now I'm sinking I'm as lost as lost can be
E Aadd9 Bsus4/D E A>Asus2
And I was hoping you could drag me up from down here towards my recovery

[Verse]
A E7sus4
If you could just give me a sign, just a subtle little glimmer
A/C# Dsus2
Some suggestion that you'd have me if I could only make me better
A E7sus4 A/C# Dsus2
Then I would 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# Dsus2
Yeah, cause broken people can get better if they really want to
A E7sus4 A/C# D E
Or at least that's what I have to tell myself if I am hoping to survive
[Chorus]
E7 Dsus2 E
Well, it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 Dsus2>A/D>Asus2/D E
A long way back to the light
E7 Dsus2 E
A long road up to recovery from here
E7 D
A long way to making it right

So, darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover
Dsus2
Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover
E/G#
Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover
Dsus2 Asus2
Darling, sweet lover, one day this will all be over
