As Always

D                    F#m/C#
I tipped the waiter, ate my share
Bm7                    D/A
Forgave the years that took me there
   Gmaj7
As always
          D                 F#m/C#
Wrote the longest joke, the shortest way
     Bm7                D/A
Made light of those who couldn′t stay
   Gmaj7
As always
     D                 F#m/C#
N' I wrestled with the leaves
         Bm7              D/A
Thick as blood but not as thieves
          Gmaj7
Just like always,
        D               F#m/C#      Bm7                D/A
Wrote a short lament in wet cement, right outside your door
   Gmaj7
As always

[Chorus]
Bm7 A       Gmaj7     D
      Don′t save me a seat
Bm7 A       Gmaj7    D
      Don't buy me a drink
Bm7 A             Gmaj7       D
      Cus there's scars on my heart
        A                                 Gmaj7
And I′m much further gone than you think

[Verse]
D                F#m/C#
Older mind, with younger eyes
Bm7               D/A
No surprise, it′s no surprise
   Gmaj7
As always
D                    F#m/C#
Swept up the dust to hide my face
   Bm7          D/A
My rival in the running race
   Gmaj7
As always
        D               F#m/C#           Bm7            D/A
Sung my lungs until the rest of me would witness what I felt for you
   Gmaj7
As always
      D          F#m/C#                Bm7           D/A
Wrote me and you across the view, your frozen window pane the view
   Gmaj7
As always


[Chorus]
Bm7 A       Gmaj7     D
      Don′t save me a seat
Bm7 A       Gmaj7    D
      Don't buy me a drink
Bm7 A             Gmaj7       D
      Cus there's scars on my heart
        A                                 Gmaj7
And I′m much further gone than you think
A                                Gmaj7
Much further gone than you think
