Tom: A
A D A
This cigarette is doing nothing for me
A D E
I still feel the tension in my veins
Bm D
And all my borrowed habits haven’t left me less erratic
Bm E A
The lines keep growing deeper on my face
[Verse 2]
A D A
All that I had lost suddenly hit me
A D E
Like a brick wall, in Memphis, Tennessee
Bm D
A stranger lent their kindness in the form of an air mattress
Bm E A
And love and sorrow led me to my sleep
[Chorus]
D A E A
Does everything fall apart like the rain tears from the clouds?
D A F#m E
And will it all go back again when the sun
D A D
When the sun comes back out?
[Verse 3]
A D A
All my friends migrated to the west coast
A D E
Like a goldrush, like an earthquake mountain-range
Bm D
But as soon as I arrived, they were the angels at my side
Bm E A
I almost forgot how much here had changed
[Chorus]
D A E A
Does everything fall apart like the winter tears the leaves?
D A F#m E
And will they all grow back again when the world
D A
When the world finally sleeps?
[Interlude]
D A E A
D F#m E A
[Bridge]
A D A D E
I no longer think of my mistakes as a shovel by a grave
Bm D
‘Cause each one whittled down a part of me I wasn’t proud of
Bm E A
I think I can afford myself some grace
A D A
The future is a void we cannot look into
A D E
But the emptied cup is free to get filled up
Bm D
The same spirit still dwells within the thin walls of my shell
Bm E A D
I am amazed at all the ways to fall in love
[Chorus]
D A E A
Does everything fall apart like the shore torn by the sea?
D A F#m
'Cause each time I come back again
E D A F#m
I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready to leave
E D A
I’m ready to leave
