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?
