Intro Em
F G C Em Am
And as I fall from this home as a feather
F G C Em Am
Into your pocket where I'll haunt myself forever
F G C Am
All of the paths that have led here now overgrow
F G C
Paper planes hover round my window
Cm
F
What's the day?
Oh what's the hour?
Fm C
A sip on dream I don't recollect now
Am
Not at all
F
Tidal waves rip through the breezeway
Fm
A year once new now far behind me
C Em Am
Making a few more wishes come true
F G
Why don't you and I unbraid
C F
Take some time today
F G C
Til the memories fade away
F G C Em Am
And now all of the songs that we've crewed
F G C Em Am
Slowly stretch their selves out of tune
F G C Am
Exhausted from the brawl, my top spinning to a fall
F G C Cm
Looking up words I misspell them all
F
Early evening
A well loved pillow
Fm C
Time to wake a brisk shake and billow
C Am
A wish list from of the child I've become
F
Tidal waves roar high above me
Fm
Onward the dark glow colored lightly
C Em Am
By the sight of a dripping sun
F G
Why don't you and I unbraid
C F
Take some time today
F G C
Til the memories fade away
