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