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