Verse:
B minorBm E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Who put these lines across my face?
B minorBm E minorEm D MajorD G+G
I thought I meant it when I said I’d age with grace
B minorBm E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Laid out my years across your floor
B minorBm E minorEm D MajorD G+G
My legs are tired I’m not running anymore
B minorBm E minorEm D MajorD G+G
When I get down I need you here
B minorBm E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Cause there’s a demon, there’s a desert, there’s a fear
B minorBm E minorEm D MajorD G+G
When I lay down to sleep alone
B minorBm E minorEm D MajorD G+G
I am extinguished, I am expired, I am old
Chorus:
C majorC G+G
But I’ll get better whenever
C majorC G+G
I’ll get better whenever

Bridge:
G+G
So grab your bike, a car, a train
A minorAm
Or plane, and just get back to me
B minorBm
Or I can drive or pay for flights
C majorC
Meet me anywhere tonight
G+G
I’ll bring us beers or books or songs
A minorAm
I’ll sing and you could sing along
B minorBm
Or sit and smoke or laugh or cry
C majorC
Pull your hair back from your eyes
G+G
Have another drink with me
A minorAm
We’ll toast to our obscurity
B minorBm
You’ll lean in and I’ll calm down
C majorC
I’ll hemorrhage my neuroses out
G+G
If you would let me stick around
A minorAm
I’ll follow you all the way down
B minorBm
And I’ll tell you like you never knew
C majorC
How good it feels to breathe and speak
G+G D MajorD G/BG/B G+G
And hear and see and live and love with you
