Verse 1:
    C               C
The fireplace isn't real
     C            Cmaj9 Am          Am
It's some sort of LED   light and a mirror
    Am          Am/G     F
But I like that better tonight
        F           Fm      Fm            C
Sitting here with a woman I don't know at all

She's so small

Verse 2:

And I'm mad at the sidewalk
C              Cmaj9

Am             Am               Am        Am/G       F          F
I'm mad at the band that played Kid Charlemagne in a bar in the village

And the solo was fucked all to hell

And you could tell

Chorus:
    Em7            F           C            G
I'm dressed up and waiting for something to change
    Em7      F              C        G
The overhead lighting makes faces so strange
            Em7       F                C           G            F     F    Fm
But there's something about her that's breaking my heart and my fast
    Fm            C  (Intro Riff)
How long could it last?

Bridge:
    C         C         C         C
And day after day after day after day passes
Em7       Em7       Em7       Em7
Day after day after day after day passes
F         F         Fm        Fm              C    G
Day after day after day after day passes by

The doorman's asleep

I don't think I'll wake him
Am
He's always so sweet
Am                Am/G      F            F
He's here really late every night of the week
Fm          Fm           C
Letting the right people in
        G
The real friends

Verse 4:
            C          C
And there's tea on the table
  Cmaj9     Am
A dog in my lap
    Am         Am         Am       Am/G        F         F
And I might be capable of taking a nap in this New York apartment
Fm           Fm         C
Peace in the eye of the storm
        G
It's so warm

Chorus:
          Em7      F            C           G
Well, I'm open and close now to minding the flame
    Em7         F           C           G
She speaks in a whisper and calls me by name
        Em7      F           C        G             F       F    Fm
And she says I remind her of Calgary, where she was raised

It's time to be brave

It's time to be brave
