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
