Letters left on kitchen counters

Mother's asking why you're down

It's automatic, you've done nothing wrong
B
Kill the clutch and run on empty
E
I don't have much to say, just let me
F#                            E
Write another stupid fucking song

You've done nothing wrong

Way to spit on a shit situation
B                        F#
Can you let me get on with my writing?
E                                   B
Such a subtle and sad silver lining
                       F#                   Dmaj7
Hex with my words and claim I'm not violent


Bridge:
E                          B
August nights, 5 o'clock lighting
             G#m
And drawing out the last goodbye
            F#
You make a move and make me cry
               F#
Now make your bed, it's time to lie
             Dmaj7
And leave me here to fossilise
             G#m
I'll freeze beneath November skies
               F#
You watch the life drain from my eyes
               F#
You want your freedom, that's the price
                  E
You can keep our vinyl and our bed
                G#m
Let me keep my dignity instead
                     F#
I'd rather sleep on sorry splintered floor
                     F#
I'd rather never sleep than ask for more
                            Dmaj7
You can rewrite every single song
                E                 G#m
You can be the one to prove me wrong
                  F#
God, I'm getting tired of being strong
                 F#                     E  G#m
Are you getting tired of getting gone?

Getting tired of being strong
