[Verse 1]
C G Am
If I could write you in a no-vel
F C G Am F
I'd por-tray you on a farm somewhere in France
C G Am
I could diagram the sto-ry
F
I could see that you escape
C G Am F
I could dis-guise you and drive you to the cape
C G F
But I nev-er want to tell you why all this hap-pened
[Verse 2]
C G Am
And if I could send you let-ters
F
I would sculpt my words with insights
C G Am F
From six cen-turies
C G Am
I could talk of my phil-o-sophy
F
Watching stars out on the dock
C G Am F
I could argue all the fin-er points of Kant, Rous-seau and Locke
[Pre-Chorus]
C G F
But I nev-er want to fear any-thing that I say
C G F
Nev-er want to stop you or keep you from play
Am
And I nev-er never never never ever
G
Want to run a-way
C
From my own life
[Chorus]
G C
One day (when there's fairer weather)
G
One day (when you feel much better)
Am Em
One day soon (when it's so much clearer)
Am F
One day soon
N.C.
None of this'll matter
C G Am F
C G Am F
[Verse 3]
C G Am
So if I brought you painted flow-ers
F C G Am F
Could I take you to New Orleans for the sum-mer
C G Am
I could read to you from Dickinson
F
On her bat-tle with herself
C
And complain about the heat there
G Am F
And ef-fects it has on health
[Pre-Chorus]
C
But I'm nev-er gonna tell you
G F
How cra-zy you make me
C G F
I'm nev-er gonna be what you wish you were late-ly
Am
And I nev-er never never never ever
G C
Hope you feel this far
[Chorus]
G C
One day (when there's fairer weather)
G
One day (when you feel much better)
Am Em
One day soon (when it's so much clearer)
Am F
One day soon
N.C.
None of this'll matter

[Bridge]
C
Sleep-ing on the hammock
And wincing as the rain's beginning
F
Writ-ing off the whole thing
Pretending that I never noticed
C
Drift-ing in the aftermath
Afterwards it changes
F
All the suf-fixes and subtleties
Binding me to latter statements
C
Said in anger
F
Said to strangers
N.C. C
Stranger things have happened
[Chorus]
G C
One day (when there's fairer weather)
G
One day (when you feel much better)
Am Em
One day soon (when it's so much clearer)
Am F
One day soon
[Pre-Chorus]
C
But I nev-er want to be the one you once re-gretted
G
And I nev-er want to make you or take you for grant-ed
C
And I nev-er want to learn it or we might for-get it
G
And I nev-er never never never ever
Am
Want to change this
[Chorus]
Em
One day soon (when it's so much clearer)
Am F
One day soon
[Outro]
C
But I nev-er want to be the one you once re-gretted
G
And I nev-er want to make you or take you for grant-ed
C
And I nev-er want to learn it or we might for-get it
G
And I nev-er never never never ever
Am C
Want to change this
