Tom:
Introdução:
Em Am
Did you mean the things you said?
Em Bm
Were you pulling ankles and legs?
Em Am
Do you read when you go to bed?
Em Bm
Do you lie there shaking instead?
Em Am
Cause it works both ways with the rain
Em Bm
leaving the words unread
Em Am
and I want to have you again
Em Bm
listening to Bedhead
Em Am
Try to get a little rest
Em Bm
There's a very big day ahead
Em Am
I was lost like people feel
Em Bm
before they find God's love
C G
The best I can say now,
Am Em
"We made it alone,
Am Em
no help from hot-air balloons,
Am Em
saving us in the nick of time"
C G
Don't get your hopes up
Am Em
Keep them low
Am Em
Try not to reach so high
Am Em
Hard work won't pay off in the end
Em Am
What a broken string of events
Em Bm
What a little tied up loose end
Em Am
Are you mad that they are all dead?
Em Bm
Do you wish that you'd gone instead?
Em Am
Are you pissed that when things got bad
Em Bm
there was one set of footprints in the sand?
Em Am
When it's easy you walk alone
Em Bm
there's a mark for each of your toes
C G
The best I could hope for
Am Em
is what you'd expect
Am Em
White lights like icicles
Am Em
hung up above the porch
C G
I'd just like to say now
Am Em
before things go too far,
Am Em
"I hated none of you,
Am Em
I loved you all at the time"
Em Am Bm
I like having to run when I don't run
C Em
and it leaves me so, so tired
Am Bm
I want better for you and for my son
C Em Am
and the lives we're leading now
Em Am Bm
I like having a tongue when the words come
C Em
And even if it gets tied
Am Bm
I want cinnamon buns in the morning sun
C Em Am
in the airport waiting lines
Em Am Bm
I like having some fun like anyone
C Em
with loaded water guns
Am Bm
Your Canadian plum has got me numb
C
Like Novacain in my gum
C G
The best is the smoke blown
Am Em
back through the flue
Am Em
like birds returning to a tree
Am Em
Where their old nest used to be
C G
Now things have changed
Am Em
or maybe not
Am Em
That's where you learn to fly
Am Em
That's where our eggshell lies
