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