Intro
A# D# G F
[Verse 1]
A#
Not half empty or full,
D#
I am unflappable,
G
The day washes over me like confetti waves,
F
The brushes are already out,
A#
Badges I proudly wore,
D#
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]
D# A# F G
I’ve forgotten how to be surprised,
D# A# F G
And I can easily think back to simpler times,
D# A# F G
Without finding it agonising, even a bit,
[Verse 2]
A#
My practised apathy
D#
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,
A#
It’s time to make a choice,
D#
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]
D# A# F G
I’ve forgotten how to be surprised,
D# A# F G
And I can easily think back to simpler times,
D# A# F G D#
Without finding it agonising, even a bit,
