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