Intro

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