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