Capo 3rd fret

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