Intro:

F#m C# D A x2

Verse 1:

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

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

Pre-Chorus:

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

Chorus:

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

Instrumental:
F#m C# D A

Verse 2:

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

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

Pre-Chorus:

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

Chorus:

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

Bridge:

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

Chorus:

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