Introduction:
E Ebm C#m B
For once, there is nothing up my sleeve
E Ebm C#m B
Just some scars from a life that used trouble me
E Ebm C#m B
I used to run at first sight of the sun
E B C#m B
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up
E Ebm C#m B
The city outside still sounds like it's on fire
E Ebm
You put on new sheets
C# B
The white flag of a Saturday night
E Ebm C# B
I know we stayed up talking in circles
E Ebm
But I like to think the symmetry
C# B
Will keep me close to you
E Ebm C# B
For everyone, I'm out to pull wrong, you keep the light on
E Ebm C# B
The only one, you now me better than the truth
E Ebm C# B
So despite what I've done I pray to God that we can move on
E Ebm C# B
Cause thus far you are the best thing that this life is yet to lose
E Ebm C# B
And, for once there is nothing up my sleeve
E Ebm C# B
Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me
E Ebm C# B
I used to run at first sight of the sun
E Ebm C#m B
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up
E Ebm C#m B
I lay here waiting for you to wake up
E Ebm C# B
So if you gonna leave, if you gonna go
E Ebm C# B
I can't bare to sleep without you in my arms
E Ebm C# B
I know we got caught up slipping through a crowd of people and losers
E Ebm
But you must not let them take you
C# B
They don't know you like I do
E Ebm C#m B
For once, there is nothing up my sleeve
E Ebm C#m B
Just some scars from a life that used trouble me
E Ebm C#m B
I used to run at first sight of the sun
E B C#m B
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up
E B C#m B
I lay here waiting for you to wake up
E Ebm C#m B
Do you remember when we stayed up till the sun stretched through the room
E Ebm C#m B
I used to blame it on the queens walking down 7th Avenue
E Ebm
It?s been years now since we moved
C#m B
I?ve gotten through with an excuse
E Ebm
You know I try not to speak superlatives
C#m B
But it's impossible to you
(instrumental, so just repeat the chorus chords)
E Ebm C#m B
The city outside is nothing but a flicker now
E Ebm C#m B
You see our friends to bed, you turn out the lights
E Ebm C#m B
I start to think you'll make a beautiful mother, I
E Ebm C#m B
I like to think I have everything I want from this life.
