Intro
F#
[Verse 1]
C# F#
Well I wish I'd never said
C# F#
The things I did the morning after
A#m A#m/G
You had shared yourself with me
F#
In so many ways
[Verse 2]
C# F#
Now a dining hall of kids
C# F#
In my mind erupts in laughter
A#m A#m/G
To see you now and then
F#
In town these days
[Chorus]
C# F#
And I want to wipe it off
C# F#
Now I want to wipe it off
A#m A#m/G
I want to wipe it off
F# C,F#,C,F
And get a clean slate
[Verse 3]
C# F#
Everyone I loved was ill
C# F#
In their mind or in their body
A#m A#m/G
And I knew not how to heal
F#
The things that weighed
[Verse 4]
C# F#
And every one of my attempts
C# F#
Has only led me to a folly
A#m A#m/G F#
And the comfort of this hold on me persuades
[Chorus]
C# F#
And I want to wipe it off
C# F#
Now I want to wipe it off
A#m A#m/G
I want to wipe it off
C#F# C,F,C,F,Am, Am/F#,F
And get a clean slate
[Verse 5]
C# F#
What a long time it has been
C# F#
Since I sat to hear to the wind
A#m A#m/G F#
See it come a whistling its little tunes
C# F#
Now the memories of you
C# F#
They can arise and fall again
A#m A#m/G F#
I don't need them to remain in little rooms
[Chorus]
C# F#
I don't want to wipe it off
C# F#
I don't want to wipe it off
A#m A#m/G
Want to wipe it off
F#
And get a clean slate
[Chorus]
C# F#
I want to wipe it off
C# F#
No, you want to wipe it off
A#m A#m/G
No need to wipe it off
F# F# C#
Got a clean, clean, clean slate
