Keep It Even

          D                        
There's a drawer in my house that I
 Dm                          C
 try to keep closed but it's open
          G                        
There's a commitment that I made to
 F                     C
 be somewhere but it's broken
   F              Fm6            
An oblique mantra in my head, it 
C                       G
lies there on the floor like a bed 
that would
F               Dm              
Collapse like a trap, if it was 
C
spoken


[Chorus]

Am                G
You gotta keep it even, even when 
you're uptight
Am               A
Even when you're happy, even when 
you're reaching for some
D                              
Line I've had in mind, it's been 
    Dm                     
repressed over time, so I'm 
   C
breathing

  G                             F 
Seduced by an excuse that could 
                  C
not be made but I'm speaking

Am  Am  G   G

[Verse]

          D                        
There's a phone with a number that 
  Dm                       C
I try not to call but it's ringing
    G                          F  
For someone I've tried to keep to 
               C
myself but I'm singing
     F                       
It's logic that's twisted and 
 Fm6             C           
paraphrased and justified by a 
   G
distance
     F           Dm           
That separates a bond, bound of 
     C
persistence


[Chorus]

Am                G
You gotta keep it even, even when 
you're uptight
Am               A
Even when you're happy, even when 
you're reaching for
     D                         Dm 
That drawer in my house that I try
                        C
 to keep closed but its open
