Tuned down half step to Eb
Intro: G, D , C x2
SOL
Measure me in metered lines
SIm
And one decisive stare
RE DO
The time it takes to get from here to there
SOL
My ribs that show through t-shirts
SIm
And these shoes I got for free
RE
I'm unconsoled
DO
I'm lonely, I am
RE DO SIm LA
So much better than I used to be
G, D, C x2
Same chords for second verse
Terrified of telephones
And shopping malls and knives
Drowning in the pools of other lives
Rely a bit too heavily
On alcohol and irony
Get clobbered on
By courtesy
RE DO SIm LA
In love with love and lousy poetry
Chorus
SOL DO
And I'm leaning on this broken fence
MIm DO
Between past and present tense
SOL DO
And I'm losing all those stupid games
MIm DO
That I swore I'd never play
MIm RE SOL RE DO SOL RE DO
But it almost feels okay
SIm RE
Circumnavigate this body
MIm RE DO
Of wonder and uncertainty
SIm RE
Armed with every precious failure
MIm RE DO
And amateur cartography
I'm breathing deep before
RE DO SIm LA
I spread those maps out on my bedroom floor
Chorus
SOL DO
And I'm leaning on this broken fence
MIm DO
Between past and present tense
SOL DO
And I'm losing all those stupid games
MIm DO
That I swore I'd never play
MIm RE SOL RE DO
But it feels okay And I'm leaving with goodbye
SOL RE DO
And I'm losing but I'll try
MIm RE
With the last ways left
MIm RE
To remember sing
MIm RE SOL
My imperfect offering
