[Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb]
Is there anything left?
Maybe steak and eggs
Waking up [Fm] to washing up
[G] Making up your [Cm] bed
[Eb] Lazy [F] days
My razor [Eb] blade
Could [Bb] use a better edge
[Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] [Bb] It's enough to make you lax
Relax in a nice cool bath
[Fm] Inspiration for [G] navigation
Of our [Cm] newfound craft
[Gm]
[Cm] Oh I know [F] you
And you [Eb] know me
It's always half [Bb] and half
[Eb] And [Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [A] we were [Dm] up so you know
[G] Nothing came to [C] dawn
[Bm] Well the things we [E] wrote today
[A] Sound [Bm] as good [C] [A] tomorrow
Well [Dm] we'll still be [G] writing
[C] In approaching [Am] years
[Bm] Sniping on some [E] disaster [A] Weekends disappear
[Bb] We could stretch our legs
If you have a mind
But don't [Eb] be [Bb] sternest if you hear us trying
[Fm] To integrate the structure of [B] another line or [Cm] two
[F]
[Cm] Cause writing's writing [F] love
And I like life [Eb] enough
See [Bb] it too
[Eb] [Bb]
[A] And we were up [Dm] so you know
[G] Nothing came to [C] dawn
[Bm] Well the things we [E] wrote today
[A] Sound [Bm] as [Am] good [A] tomorrow
[Dm] Well we'll still [G] be writing
[C] In approaching [Am] years
[Bm] Sniping on [E] some disaster
[A]
Weekends disappear
We [Bb]
[Fm]
[G] [Cm]

[Eb]
[Bb]
[Eb]
[Bb] could stretch our legs
If you have a mind
But don't be sternest if you hear us trying
[Fm] To integrate the structure of [G] another line or [Cm] two
Cause writing's writing [F] love
And I like life [Eb] enough
See [Bb] it too
[Eb] Cause writing's [F] writing love
And I like life [Eb] enough
See it [Bb] too
