Tom: E
E B A
Don't believe me when I say I'm sorry
E B A
I don't mean anything I say
E B A
A faithless face amongst faceless faces
E B A
A bad decision made in good faith
E B A
I'm cold to all illustrious distractions
E B A
Lost to love, work and play
E B A
Stuck in my own world of pallid abstractions
E B A
Forcing out these things to say
E B A
'Cause I was lost when I called you mother
E B A
I didn't realise you felt the same
E B A
And I was drunk when I called you father
E B A
But no, you're not to blame
[Chorus]
G#m A B
'Cause I did this to myself
C#m B A
No I can't blame anybody else
G#m A B
And when the photographs that line your shelves
C#m B A
Belong to somebody else
N.C.
You know it's time for change
[Interlude]
E B A 2x
[Verse]
E B A
So please forgive me for my boring stories
E B A
I've never felt that much at all
E B A
Just floated through life chasing money
E B A
A sack full of meat and bone
E B A
And with every start all I see is the finishing line
E B A
Every new beginning I just see the end
E B A
And I'll bite the loving hand that's fed me
E B A
Time and time again
[Chorus]
G#m A B
'Cause I did this to myself
C#m B A
No I can't blame anybody else
G#m A B
The photographs that line your shelves
C#m B A
Belong to somebody else
G#m Amaj7 B
And in this ongoing war
C#m7 B Amaj7
My favourite smell is petrichor
G#m Amaj7 B
The scent straight after rain
C#m7 B Amaj7
An illusion of beginning again
