πΈ Intro:
G#m F G F
πΈ Verse 1:
G#m
I wasn't starting yet
F
I didn't even think you were listening
G
I wasn't ready at all
F G#m
To say anything about anything interesting
It's a thing you have
F
You just don't know that you Do it
G
You wait around in a conversation
F
While I get in and start stumbling through it
πΈ Chorus:
G
I was so distracted then
B#m
I didn't have it straight in my head
C
I didn't have my face on yet or the role or the feel
G
Of where I was going with it all
G
I was suffering more than I let on
B#m C
The tropic morning news was on
There's nothing stopping me now
G
From saying all the painful parts out loud
πΈ Verse 2:
G#m
Got to my feet
F
Feeling that I'd let you down
G
Wanted to say it slow and perfect
F
But it all somehow got switched around
G#m
Something went off on its own
F
My dumb, automatic chit-chat
G
It's not what I meant to say at all
F
There's no way you can attach me to that
πΈ Chorus:
G
Got up to seize the day
B#m
With my head in my hands feeling strange
C
When all my thinking got mangled
G
And I caught myself talking myself off the ceiling
G B#m
I was suffering more than I let on
C
The tropic morning news was on
There's nothing stopping me now
G
From saying all the painful parts out loud
πΈ Post-Chorus:
G B#m
Oh, where are all the moments we'd have?
C
Oh, where's the brain we shared?
G
Something somehow has you rapidly improving
G B#m
Oh, what happened to the wavelength we were on?
C
Oh, where's the gravity gone?
G
Something somehow has you rapidly improving

πΈ Bridge:
G G B#m
You found the ache in my argument
C
You couldn't wait to get out of it
G G
You found the slush in my sentiment
B#m C
You made it sound so intelligent
G G B#m
You can stop and start an athlete's heart
C
How Do I feel about it?
G G
I would love to have nothing to Do with it
C
I would like to move on and be through with it
πΈ Interlude:
G#m F G F
πΈ Verse 3:
G#m F
I'll be over here lying near the ocean
Making ocean sounds
G
Let me know if you can come over
F
And work the controls for a while
πΈ Chorus:
G
I was so distracted then
B#m
I didn't have it straight in my head
C
I didn't have my face on yet or the role or the feel
G
Of where I was going with it all
G B#m
I was suffering more than I let on
C
The tropic morning news was on
G
There's nothing stopping me now
From saying all the painful parts out loud
πΈ Post-Chorus:
G B#m
Oh, where are all the moments we'd have?
C
Oh, where's the brain we shared?
G
Something somehow has you rapidly improving
G B#m
Oh, what happened to the wavelength we were on?
C
Oh, where's the gravity gone?
G
Something somehow has you rapidly improving
