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