Tom: D
D (Em) Bm (G)
[Verse 1]
D Em Bm G
Don't call it a come-on, in spite of if not because of whatever
D Em Bm G
If extent of my ambition is a lawn to mow, a charger to tether
D Em Bm G
Introed at the braggers' amnesty, "the greatest lover in the cloisters"
D Em Bm G
When the neutrals started cheering me, that is the moment that they lost us
[Chorus]
D G
Never once a miser with the misery
A Bm G
Clever compromise I replant potted history
D
You can't eat from spinning plates
G
Can't lick clean the mess it makes
A
Seen all there is to be shown
Bm G
Darling, I'm coming home
A
Still flutters pitter-patter
Em
Feeling embittered, battered
G
Behold the once and future me
D
Sad suppers for the saudaddy
[Repeat Intro]
[Verse 2]
D Em Bm G
Frogmarch through the city, ascend another synthetic summit
D Em Bm G
Until I see the route crows fly to you, then I will want no part of it
D Em Bm
Save your epiphanies for sea level, Save them for Broadsands
G D
Save them for throwing out time at Scribes West
Em Bm G
Save them for chucking up in your own hands
[Repeat Intro]/[Solo in D]
[Chorus]
D G
Never once a miser with the misery
A Bm G
Clever compromise I replant potted history
D
You can't eat from spinning plates
G
Can't lick clean the mess it makes
A
Seen all there is to be shown
Bm G
Darling, I'm coming home
A
Still flutters pitter-patter
Em
Feeling embittered, battered
G
Behold the once and future me
A D
Sad suppers for the saudaddy
