Capo 3rd fret Em Am Em Bm Em Am Em Bm Em Am Did you mean the things you said? Em Bm Were you pulling ankles and legs? Em Am Do you read when you go to bed? Em Bm Do you lie there shaking instead? Em Am Cause it works both ways with the rain Em Bm leaving the words unread Em Am and I want to have you again Em Bm listening to Bedhead Em Am Em Bm Em Am Em Bm Em Am Try to get a little rest Em Bm There's a very big day ahead Em Am I was lost like people feel Em Bm before they find God's love C G The best I can say now, Am Em "We made it alone, Am Em no help from hot-air balloons, Am Em saving us in the nick of time" C G Don't get your hopes up Am Em Keep them low Am Em Try not to reach so high Am Em Hard work won't pay off in the end Em Am Em Bm Em Am Em Bm Em Am What a broken string of events Em Bm What a little tied up loose end Em Am Are you mad that they are all dead? Em Bm Do you wish that you'd gone instead? Em Am Are you pissed that when things got bad Em Bm there was one set of footprints in the sand? Em Am When it's easy you walk alone Em Bm there's a mark for each of your toes C G The best I could hope for Am Em is what you'd expect Am Em White lights like icicles Am Em hung up above the porch C G I'd just like to say now Am Em before things go too far, Am Em "I hated none of you, Am Em I loved you all at the time" Em Am Bm C Em Am Bm C Em Am Em Am Bm I like having to run when I don't run C Em and it leaves me so, so tired Am Bm I want better for you and for my son C Em Am and the lives we're leading now Em Am Bm I like having a tongue when the words come C Em And even if it gets tied Am Bm I want cinnamon buns in the morning sun C Em Am in the airport waiting lines Em Am Bm I like having some fun like anyone C Em with loaded water guns Am Bm Your Canadian plum has got me numb C Like Novacain in my gum C G The best is the smoke blown Am Em back through the flue Am Em like birds returning to a tree Am Em Where their old nest used to be C G Now things have changed Am Em or maybe not Am Em That's where you learn to fly Am Em That's where our eggshell lies Em Am Em Bm
