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