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