Em7   A   C   G




🎸 Verse 1:
Em7                                     G
Sittin' on the floor playin' Chinese Checkers
               C            G
We were in the summer house
Em7                                          G
Crawlin' at my skin like those Aran-knit sweaters
                    C                                   G
You're just talkin' at me now
I've got other things to think about
C             G
Always had my doubts
       Em G
I'm so worn out

🎸 Verse 2:
Em7                               G
Sittin' with a frog in between my fingers
                        C
I've realised that I've lost them all
                  G
Try to catch them up and fall
Em7                                        G
Lookin' at my scar when you mentioned dinner
                     C
"What do you want to eat tonight "
             G
In a daze
I say, "That's fine"
  Em   Am7  Bm  Cm  G
I know I'II let you down
         Am G
When you find out
                Em7
I'm lettin' you go


🎸 Interlude:
Em7   G   C   G
Em7   A  G  C   Em7


🎸 Verse 3:
    Em7                   D
The big boss writes about power
G                                 C  G  A
People used to say I look like her
     Em                    G
It's obvious I don't wanna be here
G
Good thing I'm a maladaptive daydreamer
        C                        G
So I'll take myself back to that summer
G
Playin' checkers with my brother


🎸 Outro:
G      C
