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