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