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