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