Verse
G#m
Wrap me in linen
E
And show me to my
G#m
tomb Fashioned from
sheets we’ve shared
E
And things I’ve yet
G#m
to prove And the glue
is the hope that any
promise I spoke To
E
my seat or myself or
any person of note
G#m
Would be made good
while I’ve still
E
got the time
Chorus 1:
B
It’s not as
depressing as
E
it sounds Just
want to be
B
prepared I’m
in no rush to
E
end it But look
F#
at it from my
perspective
Verse 2:
G#m
I’ve messed with
E
confidence and never
G#m
understood If you’re
not afraid then you’re
E
not doing all you could
G#m
And I know that there’s
love because I’ve seen
it myself And I’ll be
E
damned if I don’t move
because I’m scared to
cross the road I’ve
G#m
never felt so much
E
that I’d arrived

Bridge:
E D#m
And I’ve been hoping
G#m
For clearer vision
B
and open eyes I want
C#m
to stop wasting all
E D#
my time keeping score
E D#
And stop existing for
G#m
all this wishing and
B
asking for What I
C#m
don’t have when I’ve

got so much that

I just ignore it
