Capo 3rd fret

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