Verse:
A E7
Blacking in and out in a strange flat in East London
A D
Somebody I don't really know just gave me something
A E7 A D
To help settle me down and to stop me from always thinking about you
A E7
And you know you're life is heading in a questionable direction
A D
When you're up for days with strangers and you can't remember anything
A E7 A D
Except the way you sounded when you told me you didn't know what I should do
Chorus:
E E7 D E
it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 D A A
a long way back to the light
E E7 D E
it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 D A A
a long way to making it right
Verse:
A E7
And so I wake up in the morning just like every other day
A D
And just like every boring blues song I get swallowed by the pain
A E7 A D
So I fumble for your figure in the darkness just to make it go away
A E7
But you're not lying there any longer and I know that that's my fault
A D
So I've been pounding on the floor and I've been crawling up the walls
A E7
And I've been dipping in my darkness for serotonin
A D
boosters, cider and some kind of smelling salts
Chorus:
E E7 D E
it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 D A A
a long way back to the light
E E7 D E
it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 D A A
a long way to making it right
Bridge:
Gbm D A
So on the first night we met, you said well darling let's make a deal
Gbm D A
If anybody ever asks us, let's just tell them that we met in jail
Gbm D
And that's the story that I'm sticking to like a southern facing compass
A E
But tonight I need to hear some truth if I'm ever getting through this
Gbm D
Yeah, you once sent me a letter that said if you're lost at sea
A E
Close your eyes and catch the tide my dear and only think of me
G D
Well, darling now I'm was sinking I'm as lost as lost can be
E E7 A
And I was hoping you could drag me up from down here towards my recovery
Interlude: E7 A D
Verse:
A E7
If you could just give me a sign, just a subtle little glimmer
A D
Some suggestion that you'd have me if I could only make me better
A E7 A D
Then I would stand a little stronger as I walk a little taller all the time
A E7
Because I know you are a cynic but I think I can convince you
A D
Yeah, cause broken people can get better if they really want to
A E7 A D
Or at least that's what I have to tell myself if I am hoping to survive
Chorus:
E E7 D E
it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 D A A
a long way back to the light
E E7 D E
it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 D A A
a long way to making it right
Outro:
E
So, darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover
D
Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover
E
Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover
D A
Darling, sweet lover, one day this will all be over
