Intro:

F# minorF#m C#C# D MajorD A augmentedA x2

Verse 1:

F# minorF#m       C#C#       D MajorD
This house does not feel like a home
      A augmentedA C# minorC#m
Is it occupied?
F# minorF#m     C#C#       D MajorD
This life is not one that I own
      A augmentedA C# minorC#m
Do I dramatize?

F# minorF#m       C#C#       D MajorD
These days I think I'll stay at home
      A augmentedA C# minorC#m
By the fireside
F# minorF#m     C#C#       D MajorD
Just leave the outdoors to get on
      A augmentedA C#C#
While I theorize

Pre-Chorus:

G+G                E MajorE
There is nothing here to celebrate
G+G                    A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
I should be kicking out my heels of late  a-a-a-a
G+G              E MajorE
If it fits then I'll wear it
G+G
If you can hear me I declare it, share it

Chorus:

D MajorD       B minorBm
I carved your name out
Bb majorBb    A augmentedA
Sunny and blue
D MajorD       B minorBm
I picked your sit-in
G+G      E MajorE
Just me and you
D MajorD       B minorBm
No one else is
Bb majorBb    A augmentedA
Ever around
G+G
This is the acid test
   F#F#
That I've found

Instrumental:
F# minorF#m C#C# D MajorD A augmentedA

Verse 2:

F# minorF#m       C#C#       D MajorD
At least three times in a single week
      A augmentedA C# minorC#m
I am run aground
F# minorF#m       C#C#       D MajorD
There is no warning I can seek
      A augmentedA C# minorC#m
I am always found

F# minorF#m       C#C#       D MajorD
There is no rhyme or reason to this
      A augmentedA C# minorC#m
A augmentedA fog appears
F# minorF#m       C#C#       D MajorD
With the gaping hollow under my feet
      A augmentedA
I disappear

Pre-Chorus:

G+G                E MajorE
There is nothing here to stop me
G+G               A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
I just fall until it's got me  a-a-a-a
G+G              E MajorE
If it fits then I'll wear it
G+G
If you can hear me I declare it, share it

Chorus:

D MajorD       B minorBm
I carved your name out
Bb majorBb    A augmentedA
Sunny and blue
D MajorD       B minorBm
I picked your sit-in
G+G      E MajorE
Just me and you
D MajorD       B minorBm
No one else is
Bb majorBb    A augmentedA
Ever around
G+G
This is the acid test
   F#F#
That I've found

Bridge:

G+G         D MajorD     A augmentedA    G+G
I think I need to shake up, wake up fast
         D MajorD
Forgive a little low
 A augmentedA      G+G
I won't let it last
         D MajorD    A augmentedA
With every little day that passes
F#F#           G+G
Something is fixing the something that's broken
F#F#          G+G      D MajorD
This conversation is no longer token

Chorus:

D MajorD       B minorBm
I carved your name out
Bb majorBb    A augmentedA
Sunny and blue
D MajorD       B minorBm
I picked your sit-in

Just me and you
D MajorD       B minorBm
No one else is
