Key: A

Verse 1:
        G                  Em
"Loving father, friend and son"
        D               Cmaj7
Printed backwards on my shoulder blade
             G                     Em
From leaning back on a plaque on a bench
        D                     G
I carry David's name until it fades

Chorus:
D                      Em
  Why does it feel significant?
                 Cmaj7
Why do I have to tell you about it?
G                        Em
  Trying to fall asleep, back flat on the floor
                                  Cmaj7
While you were eating continental breakfast in Singapore
G                          Em
  You make me homesick for places I’ve never been before
D

  How’d you do that?
C
  How’s tomorrow so far?

Interlude:
G D/F# Em D Cmaj7

Verse 2:
G                           Em
  Meeting your family was a trip
       D
Seeing what you got from them
    G              Em
For better or worse, a blessing and a curse
G                                     Em
  You don't need to love them but you do
                             D
You could take off a year or two
                Cmaj7
Well, I'll be here when you get back
G
  When you told me 'bout your new man
          Cmaj7
It wasn't news

Chorus:
                                 Em
'Cause you've got all these mannerisms that you never do
     G                     Em
Like rolling your eyes and laughing real dry
              Cmaj7                 D
Like you were trying him on for size
    Cmaj7
And even if it doesn't fit, you'll wear it
       Am7                                 C
'Cause if it's what you want, you're gonna get it

Interlude:
Am7 G Em D

Bridge:
Am7                           G
  I've heard this anecdote at least a dozen times
        Cmaj7                                G
Yeah, I know every word and inflection as if it were mine
       Em
I like watching you win over a new crowd
                                                 G
You can make 'em go wild, you can leave 'em spellbound
    Cmaj7    Am7   G
But you will never be
Em        Cmaj7
Famous to me
Cmaj7    Am7   G
You will never be
Em        Cmaj7
Famous to me

Chorus:
G                             Em
  I should know my neighbor's names
                        Cmaj7
I should not stay up so late
                                         G
Modigliani melancholy got me long in the face
                           Em
But I feel better when you call
                        D
Just to tell me how you are
                C
How'd you do that?
                  G
How’s tomorrow so far?

Outro:
                         Em
You make me homesick for places I’ve never been before
C
  How’d you do that?
Em                  G   Cmaj7
  How’s tomorrow so far?
