Tom: Em
G Am7 D G Am7 D
[Verse 1]
G Am7 D
My new house sits upon the clouds
Am7 D
Right next door is the lost and found
G D
Picking fights with the ghost downstairs
Am7 D
Turn off the lights and plug my ears
[Bridge]
G Am7 A G Am7 G
(hums)
[Verse 2]
G Am7 D
These trees are killing off, in a lovely kind of way
G Am7 D
And of course, I'm bleeding from my pores the same
G Am7 D
Maybe the winter can cut me some slack this year
G Am7
Maybe I'm telling myself what I'd like to hear
D
And tonight I hope, I'll fall asleep before my hands do
Am C D
I might come close to drifting off, but I don't plan to
[Chorus]
G
I'm viciously lonely, heart's been spent
Am7
My best friend is the cut in my neck
G
Sit back, console me, toss your rocks
Am7
Pretty good aim if you counting by shot
G Am7 D G
(hums again)
Am7 C G
Am7 D G
C G Am7 D
[Bridge]
G
I can spend a couple hours a day
C D B7
Waiting by the phone hoping there's nothing to say but
G
I've got the feeling that my wake up call
A#7 Am7
Is on it's way
[Verse 3]
G
As my youth, begins to expire
Am7
I'll slowly put a little less wood on the fire
B7 A#7
But maybe in turn like, a roll of old film
Am7
With a bottle of wine
D
that's been waiting to spill
[Chorus]
G
I'm viciously lonely, tossed around
Am7 C
Most of these days, I'm stuck in town
G
So come on and show me, lay it down
Am7 D
Put the band in the deep end, and try to get loud
G Am7 D
G Am7 D
G Am7 D
(Vocalise)
G Am7 D
[Outro]
Am7 D
All the flags are halfway down the pole
G Am7 D
So why do the dogs still barking at the firework show?
