Crooked Roof

J. Tillman


Tom: G

G          Bm             Em  C  G
Grey skies forming up ahead
              Bm                Em  C  G
And you light up like a cigarette
          Bm              Em  C
Record's playin' on the set
                     G             Bm  Em  C
And we don't have a long time left


[Chorus]
          G             Bm        C
You call out, you call out every time
C/B     C/A           G
I pass through the hall
Bm                C             C/B
That's where your pictures are
C/A      G              Bm        C
You call out, you call out every time
C/B    C/A    G
I sing out a note
 Bm           C            C/B
There go the words I spoke
C/A  G    Bm  C  C/B  C/A
Heeeeyyyy


[Verse]
G           Bm                  Em  C  G
I'm packing up as your turning in
          Bm                          Em  C  G
One last look before your eyes grow dim
          Bm                Em  C
Lay your silhouette on the bed
                     G             Bm
And ask me where my mind has been
          Em            C
Where my mind has been


[Chorus]
          G             Bm        C
You call out, you call out every time
C/B     C/A           G
I pass through the hall
Bm                C             C/B
That's where your pictures are
C/A      G              Bm        C
You call out, you call out every time
C/B    C/A    G
I sing out a note
 Bm           C            C/B  C/A   Am
There go the words I spoke


[Bridge]
Am                       C
And I never thought I'd have 
                G
A reason to go back
       Em        Am
But as it turns out
Am                      C
What we made is still there
                    G
Reflecting off the glass
     Em               Am
And stitching up the tears
     G
Heeeyyyyy
      Bm  Em  C  C/B  C/A
Ooooooooo


[Outro]
G          Bm              Em   C  G
You've got one eye on the house
             Bm                      Em  C  G
The crooked roof to be straightened out
              Bm           Em  C
You keep the other on the sky
                      G              Bm
The simple life just takes some time
      Em              C  C/B  C/A  G
Just takes some time
