Intro
F# B D# C#
[Verse 1]
F#
Not half empty or full,
B
I am unflappable,
D#
The day washes over me like confetti waves,
C#
The brushes are already out,
F#
Badges I proudly wore,
B
Form patterns on the floor,
D#
The mornings that turn to afternoons under duvet covers will be over soon
C#
I’m sure, I’m almost sure,
[Chorus]
B F# C# D#
I’ve forgotten how to be surprised,
B F# C# D#
And I can easily think back to simpler times,
B F# C# D#
Without finding it agonising, even a bit,
[Verse 2]
F#
My practised apathy
B
can’t compete with the real thing,
D#
Holding on tight, staying in control,
My knuckles white,
C#
But not sure where to go from here,
F#
It’s time to make a choice,
B
Which is the loudest voice?
D#
I’ll take breaking apart bit by bit,
Absolutely, over the opposite,
C#
And I hope that I’m not alone.
[Chorus]
B F# C# D#
I’ve forgotten how to be surprised,
B F# C# D#
And I can easily think back to simpler times,
B F# C# D# B
Without finding it agonising, even a bit,
