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