Verse
D G
Wake up, coughing, tired, with my face in my hands,
B5 A G
staring at the window as the sunlight demands action.
D A
All the energy it takes to close these bedroom blinds.
D G
Wrote this selfish sadness on a bathroom wall,
B5 A
spent half the span of some lost culture?s rise and fall,
G D A
but I?m as clueless as a drooling four year old.

Prechorus
B5 G A
Still hoping I might find the capacity

to let you know I know you?re lonely.

Repeat chorus
Here?s the promises I?ve made, tied too tight to undo.
An unwrapped gift from me to you.
verse
D G
All the slightly insane on the 18 North Main,
B5 A
reaching for a small-town downtown, night rain,
G D A
nothing I could say could be worth saying anyway today.
D G
Like ?Hey, whatever happened to what?s that guys? name??,
B5 A G
we get a little older and it looks the same: askance.
D A
Excuse my failing sense of humour.
