Tom: G

G          D
   I'm not Robert Frost
     Bm                     C
if I wrote a poem about the weather
         G           D
it would start in my car
        Bm         C
digging out for an hour
         G                D
and this town is all just dirt and earth
      Bm               C
and a little lie and a bigger hurt
      G                      D
no, I shouldn't have left my house in the first place
  Bm           C
I guess, but I always


[Chorus]

   G       D         Bm       C
go back to where I'm meant to be
     G       D         Bm       C
I go back to where I'm meant to be


[Verse]

G           D              
    so on a polar high that I
Bm                     C
found one night it was cold outside
G              D
    where your frozen hands are so
Bm                            C
much like mine,but they don't compromise

[Verse]

        G                               D
now I'm looking at the ground because I don't want you to leave
Bm                             C
I know it's co-dependent but I think it's kind of sweet
       G                         D
out of every person in this city I could ever meet
Bm                                C
leaving feels like losing but I'm learning what I need


[Chorus]

     G       D         Bm       C
I go back to where I'm meant to be
     G       D         Bm       C
I go back to where I'm meant to be
       Em       D       C        G 
in the morning
       Em       D       Bm       Bm
in the morning


[Bridge]

C             D            Em
    I want to know when it stopped
    Bm
the eye of the storm
G             D           Bm     Bm
everything is not what it was
C             D            Em
    I want to know when it stopped
    Bm
the eye of the storm
G             D           Bm      C
everything is not what it was and I'm not Robert Frost

[Verse]

G               D
    I wish that I'd replied
          Bm                   C
I wish he hadn't died I wish a lot of things
G               D
    the day you lost your dog
      Bm                   C
and I lost my car it was a Saturday

        G                  D
but the frozen air and the frozen ice
        Bm                    C
and the biggest hurts and the boldest lies
          G                  D
are gonna disappear like the melting point
        Bm                    C
like my melting rules like my melting life


[Chorus]

     G       D         Bm       C
I go back to where I'm meant to be
     G       D         Bm       C
I go back to where I'm meant to be
       Em       D       C        G

everything is not what it was and I'm not Robert Frost

    I'm not Robert Frost, if I wrote a poem about decision it would
G                  D  
start and it would end in the same place
