G  Bm  D  C  x2
Measure me in metered lines, in one decisive stare,
the time it takes to get from here to there.
My ribs that show through t-shirts and these shoes I got for free;
 I'm unconsoled. I'm lonely.

D5  C5  B5  A5
I am so much better than I used to be.

{play intro}

G  Bm  D  C  x2
 Terrified of telephones and shopping mall, and knives,
 And drowning in the pools of over lives.
 Rely a bit to heavily on alcohol and irony.
Get clobbered on by courtesy,

D5  C5  B5  A5
in love with love, and lousy poetry.

G    C    E   C
 And I'm leaning on a broken fence between Past and Present tense.
And I'm losing all these stupid games that I swore I'd never play.

E   D
but it almost feels okay.

{intro}

Bm  D  (plucky:  Bm  Asus4   C )  x2
Circumnavigate this body of wonder and uncertainty.
Armed with every previous failure, and amateur cartography,
Hold C  (A B A G fill)      D5     C5        B5                          A5 (pause)
I breathe in deep before I spread these maps out on my bedroom floor.

G    C    E   C
And I'm leaning on a broken fence between Past and Present tense.
And I'm losing all these stupid games that I swore I'd never play.

E   D
But it feels okay.

G D C C x2  (with intro riff)
And I’m Leaving. Wave goodbye and I’m Losing, but I'll try,

E  C  E  C  E  C  G
With the last ways left, to remember. Sing my imperfect offering.
