Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
  FF   G+G      A minorAm
Dizzy, drunk and throwing up
         G+G
I finally stopped my spinning
   FF   G+G      A minorAm
I guess I figured you'd show up
          G+G
With all my old belongings
   FF   G+G      A minorAm
Saying "there you go my friend
          G+G
I'm sure you've saved another"
   FF   G+G      A minorAm
Collapsing walls around me
       G+G       C majorC
I need some brick and mortar

Chorus:
C majorC
Took a swing at shortened cuts
A minorAm
Made a wrong turn somewhere
B minorBm
Unprepared for fucking up
FF              C majorC
Should remind me I'm still there
C majorC    A minorAm
And I am feeling sharpened splinters
B minorBm
Cutting through my center
FF   E minorEm
To hear you as you're coming around again


Verse 2:
  FF   G+G      A minorAm
You've taken pages from a book
           G+G
You couldn't see your face in
  FF   G+G      A minorAm
Claimed the author was a crook
           G+G
In need of illustration
  FF   G+G      A minorAm
And you were begging me for more
           G+G
Did you get what you wanted?
  FF   G+G      A minorAm
The feeling in your fingers
            G+G
Right back from where you started?

Chorus:
C majorC
You made a map of how you loved
A minorAm
And drew a perfect circle
B minorBm
I scribbled a Venn diagram
FF
Guess I lost my stable hand
C majorC    A minorAm
And I am feeling long cold winters
B minorBm
I'm lost and can't remember
FF   E minorEm
The ways to keep myself as warm as then

Bridge:
N.C.
I owned your name, your body shape
N.C.
It sits like family, a grateful offering reflected on the lake
N.C.
New slight of hand will trick my memory
N.C.
A augmentedA veil on everything
N.C.
The paths that you could take

Interlude:
A minorAm B minorBm G+G E minorEm C majorC x

         A minorAm G+G    E minorEm  FF
You said you see life in exploding color
         A minorAm   G+G
Like the flash of stars
G+G        E minorEm
Or New England autumn
  FF              A minorAm
I should've asked if you could stay
      G+G         E minorEm FF
I should've found a way around it
  FF             A minorAm
Because now all I see is grey
    G+G               E minorEm  FF
All trapped in memories that surround it

C majorC
And in your father's summer home
A minorAm
He squared and framed the question
B minorBm
Collage of newsprint on the wall
FF
Makes me feel cut in sections
C majorC    A minorAm        B minorBm
And I am shaking off my chagrin

Flaking snow and dead skin
     FF       E minorEm
That buried me in all my past mistakes

C majorC A minorAm B minorBm FF

FF                C majorC
I should've asked if you could stay

C majorC A minorAm B minorBm FF
