• Capo on 1st

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Key: F

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
F C Bb
F C Bb

Verse 1:
F
Measure me in metered lines
  Am
And one decisive stare
  C                 Bb
The time it takes to get from here to there
  F
My ribs that show through t-shirts
     Am
And these shoes I got for free
  C
I'm unconsoled
  Bb
I'm lonely, I am
C        Bb       Am G
So much better than I used to be

Instrumental:
F C Bb
F C Bb

Verse 2:
F
Terrified of telephones
  Am
And shopping malls and knives
C               Bb
Drowning in the pools of other lives
 F
Rely a bit too heavily
  Am
On alcohol and irony
  C
Get clobbered on
  Bb
By courtesy
  C         Bb      Am  G
In love with love and lousy poetry

Chorus:
    F        Bb
And I'm leaning on this broken fence

    Dm        Bb
Between past and present tense
    F        Bb
And I'm losing all those stupid games
    Dm       Bb
That I swore I'd never play
    Dm   C   F   C Bb F C Bb
But it almost feels okay

Bridge:
Am           C
  Circumnavigate this body
  Dm     C    Bb
Of wonder and uncertainty
Am              C
  Armed with every precious failure
  Dm   C    Bb
And amateur cartography

I'm breathing deep before
 C           Bb         Am G
I spread those maps out on my bedroom floor

Chorus:
N.C.  F        Bb
And I'm leaning on this broken fence

    Dm        Bb
Between past and present tense
    F        Bb
And I'm losing all those stupid games
    Dm       Bb
That I swore I'd never play
    Dm   C
But it feels okay
    F    C    Bb
And I'm leaving with goodbye
    F  C      Bb
And I'm losing but I'll try
     Dm    C
With the last ways left
   Dm   C
To remember sing
   Dm   C  F
My imperfect offering
