[Intro]
Em D/F# Cadd9 G D/F#
[Verse]
Em D/F# Cadd9 G
Looking out across suburban yards to the construct of our
D/F#
days through the thinning of the trees.
Em D/F# Cadd9
How come I only build a house of cards?
G D/F#
That gets blown to pieces by the fall's first fickle breeze.
Am7 Em9/B C D
When I feel that stirring, the illicit kiss.
A Em9/B C
That's just the cool tongue of the devil with a sucker in
D
his midst.
[Chorus:]
G D/F# Em A C D
One day I'll change you'll be the first one that I call.
G D/F# Em A C D
I owe you an apology too many thanks and that's not all.
Cadd9 D G
'Cause I've been running long before I learned to crawl.
[Verse]
Em D/F# Cadd9
My calendar lies crumbled laid to waste.
G D/F#
It's been scrawled on, thumbed through and changed.
Em D/F# Cadd9
Will this be the measure of my days?
G D/F#
Dinners and appointments and deadlines I can't make.
Am7 Em9/B C D
And when I start to see it making sense for me.
A Em9/B C D
That's just hope springing eternally.
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em A C D
One day I'll change you'll be the first one that I call.
G D/F# Em A C D
I owe you an apology too many thanks and that's not all.
Cadd9 D G
'Cause I've been running long before I learned to crawl.
C G
Outside the summer's gone for good.
F C
Dying impatiens stacked up wood.
G
My friends will get together to cook.
D C D
To talk about what's happened to take a second look.

[Verse]
Em D/F# Cadd9
The master loves the servant who blind heeds him.
G D/F#
The husband the obedient wife.
Em D/F# Cadd9
The snake will always bite the hand that feeds him.
G D/F#
Even if you love him even if you save his life.
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em A C D
One day I'll change you'll be the first one that I call.
G D/F# Em A C D
I owe you an apology too many thanks and that's not all.
Cadd9 D G
'Cause I've been running long before I learned to crawl.
