Fm A#m
Did you mean the things you said?
Fm Cm
Were you pulling ankles and legs?
Fm A#m
Do you read when you go to bed?
Fm Cm
Do you lie there shaking instead?
Fm A#m
Cause it works both ways with the rain
Fm Cm
leaving the words unread
Fm A#m
and I want to have you again
Fm Cm
listening to Bedhead
Fm A#m Fm Cm Fm A#m Fm Cm
Fm A#m
Try to get a little rest
Fm Cm
There's a very big day ahead
Fm A#m
I was lost like people feel
Fm Cm
before they find God's love
C# G#
The best I can say now,
A#m Fm
"We made it alone,
A#m Fm
no help from hot-air balloons,
A#m Fm
saving us in the nick of time"
C# G#
Don't get your hopes up
A#m Fm
Keep them low
A#m Fm
Try not to reach so high
A#m Fm
Hard work won't pay off in the end
Fm A#m Fm Cm Fm A#m Fm Cm
Fm A#m
What a broken string of events
Fm Cm
What a little tied up loose end
Fm A#m
Are you mad that they are all dead?
Fm Cm
Do you wish that you'd gone instead?
Fm A#m
Are you pissed that when things got bad
Fm Cm
there was one set of footprints in the sand?
Fm A#m
When it's easy you walk alone
Fm Cm
there's a mark for each of your toes
C# G#
The best I could hope for
A#m Fm
is what you'd expect
A#m Fm
White lights like icicles
A#m Fm
hung up above the porch
C# G#
I'd just like to say now
A#m Fm
before things go too far,
A#m Fm
"I hated none of you,
A#m Fm
I loved you all at the time"

Fm A#m Cm
I like having to run when I don't run
C# Fm
and it leaves me so, so tired
A#m Cm
I want better for you and for my son
C# Fm A#m
and the lives we're leading now
Fm A#m Cm
I like having a tongue when the words come
C# Fm
And even if it gets tied
A#m Cm
I want cinnamon buns in the morning sun
C# Fm A#m
in the airport waiting lines
Fm A#m Cm
I like having some fun like anyone
C# Fm
with loaded water guns
A#m Cm
Your Canadian plum has got me numb
C#
Like Novacain in my gum
C# G#
The best is the smoke blown
A#m Fm
back through the flue
A#m Fm
like birds returning to a tree
A#m Fm
Where their old nest used to be
C# G#
Now things have changed
A#m Fm
or maybe not
A#m Fm
That's where you learn to fly
A#m Fm
That's where our eggshell lies
