Cedars Of Lebanon

INTRO: Em Bm

Em                Bm
Yesterday I spent asleep,
Em                               
woke up in my clothes in a dirty 
Bm
heap
Em                             Bm
Spent the night trying to make a 
deadline
Em                               
Squeezing complicated lives into a 
Bm
simple headline
Em                         Bm
I have your face in an old polaroid
Em                     Bm
Tidying the children's clothes and 
toys
Em                                
You're smiling back at me, I took 
Bm
the photo from the fridge
Em               Bm
Can't remember what then we did

Em                           
I haven't been with a woman it 
  Bm
feels, like, for years
Em                             Bm
Thought of you the whole time, your 
salty tears
Em                    Bm
This shitty world sometimes produces
 a rose
Continues after the ad
Em                      Bm
The scent of it lingers but then it 
just goes

Em         D       C7M     Em D Bm
Return the call to home

Em                    Bm
The worst of us are a long, drawn 
out confession
Em                          Bm
The best of us are geniuses of 
compression
Em                                 
You say you're not gonna leave the 
Bm
truth alone
Em                            Bm
I'm here 'cause I don't wanna go 
home

Em                              
Child drinking dirty water from the 
Bm
riverbank
Em                         Bm
Soldier brings oranges, he got out 
from a tank
Em                          Bm
Waiting on the waiter, he's taking a
 while to come
Em                       Bm
Watching the sun go down in Lebanon

Em         D       C7M     Em D Bm
Return the call to home

solo:Em Bm

Em                        
Now I got a head like a lit 
  Bm
cigarette
Em                         Bm
Unholy clouds reflecting a minaret
Em                       Bm
You're so high above me, higher than
 everyone
Em                          Bm
Where are you in the Cedars of 
Lebanon?

Em                             Bm
Choose your enemies carefully 'cause
 they will define you
Em                      Bm
Make them interesting, 'cause in 
some ways they will mind you
Em                                 
They're not there in the beginning 
Bm
but when your story ends
Em                                
Gonna last with you longer than 
   Bm
your friends
