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

This is the acid test
   F#
That I've found

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

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
