From "Black Sheep Boy"
chords by Shimon (simonhochbergmusic@gmail.com)


G
Once we get to the end
     C
of this song,
        D
then it will begin again.
   G
So you said, in our bed
               C
I was watching light slip
        D
through the blinds to find your skin.

        F
So take your medicine,
            C
and I won't ask where you've been.
         F
Live your lost weekend.
              C
I know you've wanted it.
D
Get big, little kid.

G
And I can't say why each day
        Em
doesn't quite fit the space
          D
we saved for it.
            G
But if that space now demands
         Em
that you throw up both your hands,
              D
that you call it quits...

          F
Take your midnight trip
               C
I know you've dreamed of it.
          F
Walk your sunset strip,
                       C
because I think you've needed it

D
to get big, little kid.

              G
But just remember that our love
      Am
only got this good
Am
because of some younger days
        D
that you like to outstrip.
      C
So drink your cup down
G
to the dregs and leave
           Em
that club on shaking legs
      Am
with another guy,
         D
but just remember: I'm not him.

D

          C
Take your medicine and I won't ask
where you've been.
          F
Live your lost weekend,
               C
because I know you've wanted it
D
to get big, little kid.

            C
And once we get to the end of this song,
      D
then another will begin.
