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