Am7
I could barely stand to hold my head up
                  Dsus4
Thinking I’d be better off the grid
                  Am7
Cus I could only handle my own heaven
               Dsus4                D
Yours was on another plane to his


[Pre-Chorus]
Am7 Dsus4    Am7 Dsus4    C
Cherubim and seraphim and lyres
 Am7    Dsus4  Am7 Dsus4 G C
Old Berlin and synonyms for tired


[Chorus]
D              Am7
Sinking in the car, I’d kick my floor in
                Dsus4
Given all the stars it might be bliss
                    Am7
The pulp from the memoir you left this morning
                 Dsus4                  D
Framed me in an orange, golden tint


[Verse]
                    Am7
And if only I had bought the tape recorder
                 Dsus4
Just to hear you say those words again
                     Am7
The way you just surrendered made it all the

Sweeter
       Dsus4
I was yours

I melted then


[Pre-Chorus]
      Am7      Dsus4  Am7     Dsus4  C
You dropped it in and left it on the side
       Am7  Dsus4   Am7     Dsus4   C        Dsus2
The bathing water’s half of chapter nine


[Chorus]

      Dsus2/B   Dsus2/C  
Sistine blisters
                                     Dsus2/E              Dsus2          (Dsus2/C x2)   Dsus2
I was cricking my neck out trying to see our drawings of choirs get born
    Dsus2/B     Dsus2/C  
Sixteen, shivers
Dsus2/C                           Dsus2/E                         Dsus2          (Dsus2/C x2)    Dsus2/E
I remember my legs shaking in my head while you were making your bed up next door
    Dsus2    Dsus2/C
Caffeine rivers
Dsus2/C                                  Dsus/E                          Dsus            (Dsus2/C x2) Dsus2/E
Your letters, they read themselves in my head, I left them all on your doorstep that fall
     Dsus2  Dsus2/C
Fifty winters
                                          Dsus2/E                 Dsus2               Dsus2/C
My sweater was red, you were growing your hair out, said you were fed up with it short


[Outro]
 G                         Am7
But we’re on to something now
G                         C
But we’re on to something now
G                          Am7
But we’re on to something now
 G
Bliss redelivered
Am                                           Bm
I thought we had said not to pull at that thread when you

Kissed me
         C
My skin shed
                                      D                           G           C
I had figured instead we’d begin to accept that it wouldn’t get better anymore
