C             F                              C
I've been in denial for a while now ;
           F     C
But i'm coming around
            F                               C
I've been blowing in a weird wind ;
              F         C
Wayward as a Greyhound
            F                                C
You took my grief with a grain of salt ;
          F                        C
It was difficult, it was all my fault
        F                        C
A long distance phone call from Philadelphia,
       F                     C            F
I was drunk and i needed to talk
               G             F
But once i had your attention,
              C             G
there's so much i meant to mention
Am                                            C
There's some things that i have come to understand
          F                  C
You were dry land, i was a drowning man
Am                                            C
They say the safest place is a basement in a storm
                     F                     C
Well darling during downpours, you were my cellar door

         F          C
Well, i half-assed ;
    F                      C
I gift-wrapped a piece of shit
           F        C
I was the bearer of bad news ;
      F              C          F
Your worst birthday present
                  C         G
That forlorn uniform you fold,
         C                   G
and your ice cold eyes rolled

Am                                             C
There's something things that i have come to understand
           F                 C         G
You were dry land, i was a drowning man
Am                                            C
They say the safest place is a basement in a storm
                     F                   C           G
Well darling during downpours, i was so self-absorbed
Am                                                   C
And time will tell if the hand your dealt is worth a damn
                      F                         C        G          F        C
There's no knowing in advance, and the one you held has lost it's grasp
