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