[Intro]
A/D Dmaj7/B
(x2)
[Verse]
A/D
Downstairs, halfway dead,
Dmaj7/B
sucking down coffee from a black old fountain
A/D
Is home where you lay your head
Dmaj7/B
or where your fake swordfish is mounted?
Dmaj7/F# A/D Dmaj7/B Dmaj7/C#
Eyes-cross, habitually I would leave the room prematurely
A/D
with a tiny little pile of dark roast grounds
Dmaj7/B Dmaj7/C#
where I once stood just enough there to keep me safe
[Break]
A/D Dmaj7/A Dmaj7/B Dmaj7/F# Dmaj7/E
(x4)
[Verse]
A/D
Rained-out, wrapped right up
Dmaj7/B
in our metaphorical overpriced ponchos
A/D
Endless rides home, circling the block
Dmaj7/B
for the whisper of a word we didn't know how to use in a sentence
A/D
Saw you, went home
Dmaj7/F# Dmaj7/B Dmaj7/C#
Drank myself silly in the basement alone,
A/D
and the spiders were showing off a sense of humor on the ceiling,
Dmaj7/F# Dmaj7/B Dmaj7/C#
spinning letters together I read “we keep you safe."
[Break]
A/D Dmaj7/B
(x2)
[Bridge]
A/D
Lost art, lost boy
Dmaj7/B A/D
watching a grown man drink a 211 at 11 a.m.
A/D
Our old joy!
Dmaj7/B
But everything is changing even faster than it was back
Dmaj7/F# Dmaj7/F
then. You hold me.
Dmaj7/E Dmaj7/Eb
It feels like I am finally closing my eyes after a
A/D
year and a half long day, and I am tired as hell
Dmaj7/C#
Listen close, do you know that you keep me safe?
