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