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