A                                            E7/4  
Blacking in and out in a strange flat in East London
A6                                                                         D2  
Somebody I don't really know just gave me something
          A                                                            E7/4                                                                              A6      D2  
To help settle me down and to stop me from always thinking about you
                        A                                                                                 E7/4  
And you know you're life is heading in a questionable direction
                                A6                                                                                      D2  
When you're up for days with strangers and you can't remember anything
  A                                                                                         E7/4                                                                                 A6      D2  
Except the way you sounded when you told me you didn't know what I should do
E                                 E7                                      D2                                    E  
             it's a long road up to recovery from here
        E7  
A long way back to the light
E                                 E7                                      D2                                    E  
             it's a long road up to recovery from here
        E7  
A long way to making it right
                          A                                                                         E7/4  
And so I wake up in the morning just like every other day
                                        A6                                                                         D2  
And just like every boring blues song I get swallowed by the pain
                  A                                                                      E7/4                                                         A6  D2  
So I fumble for your figure in the darkness just to make it go away
                                          A                                                                 E7/4  
But you're not lying there any longer and I know that that's my fault
                             A6                                                                                    D2  
So I've been pounding on the floor and I've been crawling up the walls
                                                A                                                              E7/4                                         A6                                                      D2  
And I've been dipping in my darkness for serotonin boosters, cider and some kind of smelling salts
E                                 E7                                      D2                                    E  
             it's a long road up to recovery from here
        E7                                                            A  
A long way back to the light
E                                 E7                                      D2                                    E  
             it's a long road up to recovery from here
        E7                                                            A  
A long way to making it right
                             Fm                                                                                 D2                                                         A  
So on the first night we met, you said well darling let's make a deal
        Fm                                                      D2                                                                                                 A  
If anybody ever asks us, let's just tell them that we met in jail
                                          Fm                                                                              D2  
And that's the story that I'm sticking to like a southern facing compass
                  A                                                                                            E/G#  
But tonight I need to hear some truth if I'm ever getting through this
                             Fm                                                                                 D2  
Yeah, you once sent me a letter that said if you're lost at sea
                        A                                                                                      E/G#  
Close your eyes and catch the tide my dear and only think of me
                     G                                                                                         D2  
Well, darling now I'm was sinking I'm as lost as lost can be
                             E                                                                      E7                                                                      A  
And I was hoping you could drag me up from down here towards my recovery
                                     A                                                                 E7/4  
If you could just give me a sign, just a subtle little glimmer
                  A6                                                                                                 D2  
Some suggestion that you'd have me if I could only make me better
                                     A                                                                         E7/4                                                         A6            D2  
Then I would stand a little stronger as I walk a little taller all the time
                             A                                                            E7/4  
Because I know you are a cynic but I think I can convince you
                                  A6                                                                      D2  
Yeah, cause broken people can get better if they really want to
                  A                                                                      E7/4                                                 A6            D2  
Or at least that's what I have to tell myself if I am hoping to survive
E                                 E7                                      D2                                    E  
             it's a long road up to recovery from here
        E7                                                            A  
A long way back to the light
E                                 E7                                      D2                                    E  
             it's a long road up to recovery from here
        E7                                                            A  
A long way to making it right
E  
So, darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover
D2  
Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover
E/G#  
Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover
D2                                                                                                                            A  
Darling, sweet lover, one day this will all be over
