Intro

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