capo 1, standard tuning
Intro: Dm
Dm
Cover up your shaky hands
Am
I hear that you’re doing well
C
Back again for long this time?
G
Looks like they put you all through hell
Dm
But you seem to be coping fine
Am
Trust me the stress will pass with time
C
And you’ll be back around again
G
Yes you’ll be back again
F
I don’t mean to make you curse
C
But it could have been much worse
G
And as far as I can tell
Dm C
It seems that you’re doing well
Chorus:
A# Dm C
Come quick - things worth seeing
A# Dm C
Life-sick - we are leaving
A# Dm C
Time-framed - changing season
A# Dm C
Same-same - we are leaving
Dm
Dm
And i bet you constantly ask
Am
How did we get here so fast
C
Cause I have been there once before
G
And all the dates they made me raw
Dm
Wait and weight, it’s all the same
Am
Sinking underneath the waves
C
Hell it couldn’t be much worse
G
Than diving in head first
F
And I don’t mean to make you curse
C
But it could have been much worse
G
And as far as I can tell
Dm C
It seems that you’re doing well
A# Dm C
Come quick - things worth seeing
A# Dm C
Life-sick - we are leaving
A# Dm C
Time-framed - changing season
A# Dm C
Same-same - we are leaving
