Chords with lyrics
Difficulty: Novice
There isn't guitar in this song up until the last part,
but it's a great song, so I figured I'd put up chords
for the whole thing.

First Verse:
G+G D MajorD
I fell asleep in the chair by the fireplace
C majorC
And I woke up in the kitchen sink
G+G D MajorD
With an umbrella full of holes overtop my head and
G+G E minorEm
I fell asleep on the table with your picture in hand
C majorC
And I woke up in the cupboard
G+G D MajorD
With some scrapes on my arms and a mouthful of hell
Second Verse:
E minorEm
Chains are rattling in the attic again
C majorC G+G
And the birds are building nests in the windowsill
Dust has settled over everything
D MajorD
And the ceiling fan still cuts a lazy circle
E minorEm
I got a picture on the mantle piece
C majorC G+G
Of the way that I thought that we'd end up
But this shares no resemblance to that
D MajorD G+G
Yeah, that shares no resemblance to that at all
Third Verse:
G+G D MajorD
I tore the dreams from my head and tossed them in the flames
C majorC
And the smoke smelled like my past
G+G D MajorD
And it stung my eyes, but I was too stubborn to blink and
G+G E minorEm
I slept inside the piano 'till the rain was gone
C majorC
And I woke up when I saw the sun
G+G
And wiped the sleep from my eyes
D MajorD
Yeah, I knew my time had come
Interlude/Accordion Solo:
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD X2
Last Bit:
C majorC D MajorD G+G E minorEm
We're all still a part of everything that we were
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And we'll all float along with everything
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G
And in turn, we'll all fall apart with everything
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
But we'll learn just what things are like outside our heads
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm G+G
And I hear them singing
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm G+G
And I hear my name
C majorC D MajorD G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm
And I feel you scrub my skin
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And I was happy to fade
Outro: G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD
G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
And then end on a G+G chord.
That's it, hope you enjoyed it!
