INTRO: Em Bm

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

Em                             Bm
I haven't been with a woman it feels, like, for years
Em                             Bm
Thought of you the whole time, your salty tears
Em                    Bm
This shitty world sometimes produces a rose
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                                 Bm
You say you're not gonna leave the truth alone
Em                            Bm
I'm here 'cause I don't wanna go home

Em                              Bm
Child drinking dirty water from the 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

Em                          Bm
Now I got a head like a lit 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                                 Bm
They're not there in the beginning but when your story ends
Em                                   Bm
Gonna last with you longer than your friends
