G C Em C 

G            C               Em              C 
If I made it to your bedroom, I would never leave 
G                  C                Em                C 
Faded reflections fill the water, they look just like me 

Verse 
G                     C                         Em                 C 
I sit in my house and look around for scattered pieces of anything 
G                           C 
Never been good at spilling my guts 
                  Em                               C 
You are going to have to pull them right out of me 
                    Em                              D 
But if you make it out of the weeds, you will stumble over your feet 
                         C                            D 
Then I'll bite down and look away because that is easy 
                   Em                              D 
And if I am barely hanging in, then I'll get by on sleight of hand 
                    C                            D 
I need a spot where I can lean and scribble my plans 
N.C. 
Still not sure of them 
 
C G D Em D Well, that's just too damn bad for you C G D D That's too damn bad for both of us G C Em C
Verse G C Em C I draw figure eights with my words, they never find a place to land G C Though I'm feeling real old and you're getting there too Em C I love you now like I loved you then

Bridge:

Em D C D We are dressed for success and our neckties cut our airflow Em D Now that we are wooden, we are focused C I said, 'that's too damn bad for us' D And you said, 'no, that's too bad for you'
Verse G I am so confident C Either that, or I'm full of shit Em C And maybe I'm incompetent stacked on top of it G I am always overwhelmed C Em Every big and little thing crashes hard into me C It gets swept underneath, underneath G C And it took a lifetimes worth of work to be as unpleasant as I am Em C And I don't think that I will ever turn it back G C Yeah, it took a lifetimes worth of work to become as careless as I am Em C D C And I don't think that I will ever turn it back, turn it back, turn it back
G D Em D Well, that's just too damn bad for you C G D Em D G That's too damn bad for both of us C Em C G C Em C
