[Verse 1]
C A#sus2
Picking up broken words
Am
Snipping the tips off
Fmaj7/A
Grinding down the long ones
Am7
That wind around your eardrums
C A#sus2
Dangerous plastic words
Am
For crowd dispersal
Fmaj7/A
And dumb dumb words
Am7
That could blow your head off
[Chorus]
Am F C
This is a story 'bout the three of us
F C Em F
Down by the water and the tide is rising
Am F C
This world is burning and I'm terrified
F C G Am
I need a little more time with you, oh
F C G F G C
I just need a little more time with you
[Verse 2]
C Dadd9
One fine day you'll sing
Am
Your inevitable love song
Fmaj7/A
Inevitable lie song
Am7/F
Inevitable cry song
C Dadd9
Time bends broken bones
Am F
Time bends broken bones
Am/F Fmaj7
'Til they wrap around your throat
Am7/F
And snap around your fingers
[Chorus]
Am F C
This is a story 'bout the three of us
F C Em F
Down by the water and the tide is rising
Am F C
This world is burning and I'm terrified
F C G Am /B /C F C
I need a little more time with you, oh
F C Em F
Down by the water and the tide keeps rising
Am /B /C F C
This world is burning and I'm terrified
F C G Am /G
I need a little more time with you
F C G Am /G
Oh, I just need a little more time with you
F C/G G F/A G/B
Oh please, just a little more time with you
