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