E minorEm C majorC
You're not unlucky, you're just not very smart
G+G D MajorD
These things will never leave you - they're as close as you can get
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
To a blueprint for the future - but you can call it fate.
E minorEm C majorC
It's like these days I have to write down almost every thought I've held,
G+G D MajorD
So scared I am becoming of forgetting how it felt,
E minorEm C majorC
And these fears they will unravel me one day,
G+G D MajorD
But still I am afraid.
E minorEm C majorC
But I'm blessed -
G+G D MajorD
Just to be, more or less -
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
Standing in the afterglow of rapture with the words the rapture left
E minorEm C majorC
Oh blessed -
G+G D MajorD
Just to be, more or less -
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
Standing in the afterglow of rapture with the words the rapture left.
E minorEm
Now you're blessed amongst all women,
C majorC
Now a man who's very good,
G+G D MajorD
He tells you how you feel until your life is understood,
E minorEm C majorC
And he leads you through it arm in arm as though
G+G D MajorD
There was a map to guide the way.
E minorEm C majorC
Now you write because you love him, now you write because he's kind,
G+G D MajorD
You write so much, you look up and you wrote yourself behind,
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
And you're standing in a labyrinth of paper and the map has been erased.
E minorEm C majorC
But you're blessed -
G+G D MajorD
Just to be, more or less -
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
Standing in the afterglow of rapture with the words the rapture left.
E minorEm C majorC
Are you blessed?
G+G D MajorD
Just to be, more or less?
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
Now you're standing in the afterglow of rapture, but there is no rapture left.
instrumental part repeats E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
E minorEm C majorC
Oh come, and we will celebrate the things that make us real,
G+G D MajorD
The things that break us open, and the things that make us feel
E minorEm C majorC
Like these accidental meetings up and partings of the way
G+G D MajorD
Are not so much our choice but in the blood of how we're made,
E minorEm C majorC
It's like the way I have to write down almost everything I see,
G+G D MajorD
So that the record does obscure the thing the record used to be,
E minorEm
And I know I'm not unlucky,
C majorC G+G D MajorD
I was just born this way.
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
But I'm blessed.
E minorEm C majorC
Now a paper forest grows up in the supermarket aisles,
G+G D MajorD
The baby born with teeth looks at its mother and it smiles,
E minorEm
And we all fall down
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Like wind blows through the paper forest.
E minorEm C majorC
And a paper forest grows up in the supermarket aisles,
G+G D MajorD
The baby born with teeth looks at its mother and smiles,
E minorEm
And we all fall down
C majorC G+G D MajorD
As wind blows through the paper forest.
E minorEm C majorC
And a paper forest grows up in the supermarket aisle
G+G D MajorD
Alarm clock fingers turn they're counting seconds like they're miles
E minorEm C majorC G+G
