Tom: D
D A
Wake up, coughing, tired, with my face in my hands,
Bm F#m G
staring at the window as the sunlight demands action.
D A
All the energy it takes to close these bedroom blinds.
D A
Wrote this selfish sadness on a bathroom wall,
Bm F#m
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.

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm G A
Still hoping I might find the capacity
Bm G A
to let you know I know you’re lonely.

a final slow dance through

G|------0---2-2-2-|
D|----4---4-2-2-2-|
A|--5-------2-2-2-|
E|----------------|
the days that we all hold on to.
[Repeat chorus]
Here’s the promises I’ve made, tied too tight to undo.
An unwrapped gift from me to you.
[Verse]
D A
All the slightly insane on the 18 North Main,
Bm F#m
reaching for a small-town downtown, night rain,
G D A
nothing I could say could be worth saying anyway today.
D A
Like “Hey, whatever happened to what’s that guys’ name?”,
Bm F#m G
we get a little older and it looks the same: askance.
D A
Excuse my failing sense of humour.

[Chorus]
D A Bm
So here’s the last call for regrets,
F#m G
A final slow dance through
D A
The days that we all hold on to.
D A Bm
Here's the promises I've made;
F#m G
A razor blade and this broken piece of chain.
A history left to rust out in the rain.
Then last part (after the bass) goes like this:
D A Bm F#m G F#m G A (x2)
