Chords with lyrics
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
Intro:
F#F# BB D#D# C#C#
Verse 1:
F#F#
Not half empty or full,
BB
I am unflappable,
D#D#
The day washes over me like confetti waves,
C#C#
The brushes are already out,
F#F#
Badges I proudly wore,
BB
Form patterns on the floor,
D#D#
The mornings that turn to afternoons under duvet covers will be over soon
C#C#
I’m sure, I’m almost sure,
Chorus:
BB F#F# C#C# D#D#
I’ve forgotten how to be surprised,
BB F#F# C#C# D#D#
And I can easily think back to simpler times,
BB F#F# C#C# D#D#
Without finding it agonising, even a bit,
Verse 2:
F#F#
My practised apathy
BB
can’t compete with the real thing,
D#D#
Holding on tight, staying in control,
My knuckles white,
C#C#
But not sure where to go from here,
F#F#
It’s time to make a choice,
BB
Which is the loudest voice?
D#D#
I’ll take breaking apart bit by bit,
Absolutely, over the opposite,
C#C#
And I hope that I’m not alone.
Chorus:
BB F#F# C#C# D#D#
I’ve forgotten how to be surprised,
BB F#F# C#C# D#D#
And I can easily think back to simpler times,
BB F#F# C#C# D#D# BB
Without finding it agonising, even a bit,
