Key: F
Introduction:
Em Bm
Em Bm
Yesterday I spent asleep,
Em Bm
woke up in my clothes in a dirty heap
Em Bm
Spent the night trying to make a deadline
Em Bm
Squeezing complicated lives into a simple headline
Em Bm
I have your face in an old polaroid
Em Bm
Tidying the children's clothes and toys
Em Bm
You're smiling back at me, I took the photo from the fridge
Em Bm
Can't remember what then we did
Em Bm
I haven't been with a woman it feels, like, for years
Em Bm
Thought of you the whole time, your salty tears
Em Bm
This shitty world sometimes produces a rose
Em Bm
The scent of it lingers but then it just goes
Em D C7+ Em D Bm
Return the call to home
Em Bm
The worst of us are a long, drawn out confession
Em Bm
The best of us are geniuses of compression
Em Bm
You say you're not gonna leave the truth alone
Em Bm
I'm here 'cause I don't wanna go home
Em Bm
Child drinking dirty water from the riverbank
Em Bm
Soldier brings oranges, he got out from a tank
Em Bm
Waiting on the waiter, he's taking a while to come
Em Bm
Watching the sun go down in Lebanon
Em D C7+ Em D Bm
Return the call to home
Bm
Em Bm
Now I got a head like a lit cigarette
Em Bm
Unholy clouds reflecting a minaret
Em Bm
You're so high above me, higher than everyone
Em Bm
Where are you in the Cedars of Lebanon?
Em Bm
Choose your enemies carefully 'cause they will define you
Em Bm
Make them interesting, 'cause in some ways they will mind you
Em Bm
They're not there in the beginning but when your story ends
Em Bm
Gonna last with you longer than your friends
