Capo 8
Intro: C
C
You pulled me in when it was light
F E
Amongst the grass we shared our lives
G Am
And though I'm thrown, at least I know
F G C
I want more complicated days
C
Why should this stop before it starts?
F E
I want to give us our best chance
G Am
If it goes wrong, we will move on
F G C
But first, more complicated days
C Em F C
This won’t be the first time that I've thrown myself away
C Em G
This won’t be the first time that I fall
C E7 F Fm
This won’t be the first time I put someone in my way
Dm G C
But simple things no longer interest me at all
C
And I am lost, and I am torn
F E
And somehow I’m still comfortable
G Am
So I won’t quit or question this
F G C
Without more complicated days
C
You are unsure, but so am I
F E
You know we share that clouded sky
G Am
And I won’t go, I hope you know
F G C
I’ll bring more complicated days
C Em F C
This won’t be the first time that I've thrown myself away

This won’t be the first time that I fall

This won’t be the first time I put someone in my way

But simple things no longer interest me at all
