[B] [E]

[C#] [E]
My old addiction changed
[A]
the wiring [F#] in my brain
[E]
So that [B] when it [C#m] turns, it switches,
[F#m]
and I am not [Bm] the [A] same
[E]
So like the flowers towards the sun, I will [A] follow [C#m] to stretch
[Am] myself out thin
[E] There's a part of me [C#m] that's already buried, sends me out into [B] this [E] wind
My
[A] [D] [E] old addiction [C#m] is a flood [D] upon the land
[Am] This [E] tiny
[G#m] lifeboat [C#m] can keep me [B] [C#m] dry
[F#m]
My weight [C#m] is all that it can [E]
[B] stand
[E] So when I try [D] to [G#] lean just a [E] little,
[A] just a splash [Am] to cool my feet
[E]
All that trickle [G#m]
[C#m] turns out fickle, [F#m]
fills my boat up [B] five miles deep

My [D]
old addiction [E]
makes [A] [E]
me [A] crave [F#] only what is best
[E] [B] Like these just this [C#m] morning sunburns, [F#m]
craving upward from the nest
[E]
These tiny birds outside my window,
[A] I take my hand [Am] [D] to be their mom
[Am] [E]
[B] These open mouths [C#m] would trust and swallow [F#m]
anything [B] that comes along
Like [E]
my old addiction,
[G#] [A]
now the other
[Am] side of day
[E] [B]
[E] [G#m] Springtime [C#m] of my [F#m] lifestyle turns [B] the other [A] way
[E]
If a swan can have a song,
[Bm] [A] I think I know [D] a tune
The
[E]
[C#m] pages only [E] scroll, [F#m]
and I am gone this [Em]
[E] afternoon
[Bm] [E]
[A]
[B]
[F#] The [E]
pages [B] [E] only [C#m] scroll, and I [F#m] am gone this
[B]
[C#]
afternoon
