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