Tuning: Standard (F# B E A C# E)
F# Fm D#m C#
For once, there is nothing up my sleeve
F# Fm D#m C#
Just some scars from a life that used trouble me
F# Fm D#m C#
I used to run at first sight of the sun
F# C# D#m C#
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up
F# Fm D#m C#
The city outside still sounds like it's on fire
F# Fm
You put on new sheets
D# C#
The white flag of a Saturday night
F# Fm D# C#
I know we stayed up talking in circles
F# Fm
But I like to think the symmetry
D# C#
Will keep me close to you
F# Fm D# C#
For everyone, I'm out to pull wrong, you keep the light on
F# Fm D# C#
The only one, you now me better than the truth
F# Fm D# C#
So despite what I've done I pray to God that we can move on
F# Fm D# C#
Cause thus far you are the best thing that this life is yet to lose
F# Fm D# C#
And, for once there is nothing up my sleeve
F# Fm D# C#
Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me
F# Fm D# C#
I used to run at first sight of the sun
F# Fm D#m C#
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up
F# Fm D#m C#
I lay here waiting for you to wake up
F# Fm D# C#
So if you gonna leave, if you gonna go
F# Fm D# C#
I can't bare to sleep without you in my arms
F# Fm D# C#
I know we got caught up slipping through a crowd of people and losers
F# Fm
But you must not let them take you
D# C#
They don't know you like I do
F# Fm D#m C#
For once, there is nothing up my sleeve
F# Fm D#m C#
Just some scars from a life that used trouble me
F# Fm D#m C#
I used to run at first sight of the sun
F# C# D#m C#
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up
F# C# D#m C#
I lay here waiting for you to wake up
F# Fm D#m C#
Do you remember when we stayed up till the sun stretched through the room
F# Fm D#m C#
I used to blame it on the queens walking down 7th Avenue
F# Fm
It’s been years now since we moved
D#m C#
I’ve gotten through with an excuse
F# Fm
You know I try not to speak superlatives
D#m C#
But it's impossible to you
(instrumental, so just repeat the chorus chords)
F# Fm D#m C#
The city outside is nothing but a flicker now
F# Fm D#m C#
You see our friends to bed, you turn out the lights
F# Fm D#m C#
I start to think you'll make a beautiful mother, I
F# Fm D#m C#
I like to think I have everything I want from this life.
