Tuning: Standard (A# D# G# C# F E)
A# Am Gm F
For once, there is nothing up my sleeve
A# Am Gm F
Just some scars from a life that used trouble me
A# Am Gm F
I used to run at first sight of the sun
A# F Gm F
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up
A# Am Gm F
The city outside still sounds like it's on fire
A# Am
You put on new sheets
G F
The white flag of a Saturday night
A# Am G F
I know we stayed up talking in circles
A# Am
But I like to think the symmetry
G F
Will keep me close to you
A# Am G F
For everyone, I'm out to pull wrong, you keep the light on
A# Am G F
The only one, you now me better than the truth
A# Am G F
So despite what I've done I pray to God that we can move on
A# Am G F
Cause thus far you are the best thing that this life is yet to lose
A# Am G F
And, for once there is nothing up my sleeve
A# Am G F
Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me
A# Am G F
I used to run at first sight of the sun
A# Am Gm F
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up
A# Am Gm F
I lay here waiting for you to wake up
A# Am G F
So if you gonna leave, if you gonna go
A# Am G F
I can't bare to sleep without you in my arms
A# Am G F
I know we got caught up slipping through a crowd of people and losers
A# Am
But you must not let them take you
G F
They don't know you like I do
A# Am Gm F
For once, there is nothing up my sleeve

Just some scars from a life that used trouble me
A# Am Gm F
I used to run at first sight of the sun
A# F Gm F
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up
A# F Gm F
I lay here waiting for you to wake up
A# Am Gm F
Do you remember when we stayed up till the sun stretched through the room
A# Am Gm F
I used to blame it on the queens walking down 7th Avenue
A# Am
It’s been years now since we moved
Gm F
I’ve gotten through with an excuse
A# Am
You know I try not to speak superlatives
Gm F
But it's impossible to you
(instrumental, so just repeat the chorus chords)
A# Am Gm F
The city outside is nothing but a flicker now
A# Am Gm F
You see our friends to bed, you turn out the lights
A# Am Gm F
I start to think you'll make a beautiful mother, I
A# Am Gm F
I like to think I have everything I want from this life.
