[A] [E]
[C#m] I wasn't [E] ready
[A] at all [E] to say anything about anything [C#m] interesting.
It's a thing you have, you just [E] don't know that you do it.
You [A] wait around in a conversation while [E] I get in and [B] start stumbling [E] through it.
I was so distracted then, [F#m] I didn't have it straight in my head.
I didn't [D] have my face on yet, or the role or the [E] feet, or where I was going with it all.
I was suffering more than I [F#m] let on.
Troubled, tropic, morning [D] news was on, there's nothing stopping me [E] now.
Saving all the painful [C#m] parts I've lost.
Got to my feet, feeling [E] that I'd let you down.
Wanted to [A] say it's slow and perfect, but it [E] all somehow got switched around.
[C#m] Something went off on its own, my [E] dumb automatic chit [A] chat.
It's not what I [E] meant to say at all, there's no way you can [B] attach me to [E] that.
Got up to seize the day with my [F#m] head in my hands, feeling stressed.
When all [D] my thinking got mangled and I caught [E] myself talking myself up to see.
I was suffering more than I [F#m] let on.
Troubled, tropic, morning [D] news was on, there's nothing [A] stopping me [E] now.
From saving all the painful parts I've lost.
Oh, where are [F#m] all the moments we had?
Oh, [D] where's the break we shared?
Something [E] somehow hasn't rapidly improved.
Oh, what happened [F#m] to the way that we were?
Oh, [D] where's the gravity gone?
[E] Something somehow hasn't rapidly [A] improved.
[E] [F#m] [D]
[A] [E] [F#m] [D]
[A] You [E] found the ache in my [F#m] argument, you [D] couldn't wait to get [A] at me.
You [E] found the slush in my [F#m] sentiment, you [D] made it sound so [A] intelligent.
You can [E] stop and start, an [F#m] athlete's heart, how [D] do I feel about it?
[A] I would [E] love to have nothing to [D] do with it.
I would like to move on and be [C#m] through with it.
[E]
[A] [E]
[C#m] I'll be over here lying near the ocean, making ocean sounds.
[A] Let me know if you can come [E] over and [B] work the controls for [E] a while.
I was so distracted [F#m] then, I didn't have to straighten my head.
I [D] didn't have my face on yet for the role or [E] the feeling of where I was going with it all.
I was suffering more than I [F#m] laid out in the chopping.
Morning [D] news was on, there's nothing stopping [E] me now.
From saving all the painful parts I've lost.
Oh, where are [F#m] all the moments we had?
Oh, [D] where's the brain we shared?
[E] Something somehow hasn't rapidly improved.
Oh, what happened [F#m] to the ways that we were?
Oh, [D] where's the vanity gone?
[E] Something somehow hasn't rapidly improved.
