Intro
C
[Verse 1]
G C
Well I wish I'd never said
G C
The things I did the morning after
Em Em/C#
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
Em Em/C#
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
Em Em/C#
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
Em Em/C#
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
Em Em/C# 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
Em Em/C#
I want to wipe it off
GC 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
Em Em/C# C
See it come a whistling its little tunes
G C
Now the memories of you
G C
They can arise and fall again
Em Em/C# 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
Em Em/C#
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
Em Em/C#
No need to wipe it off
C C G
Got a clean, clean, clean slate
