Tom: Am
C E C
[Verse 1]
Em F
I woke up screaming and swearing in Spanish
C
Clueless to the sounds and smells of people around me
Em
Washed my face in the cracked sink
F C
Walked a stained carpet, kissed your naked shoulder and I took to the street
Em F
The trip home isn't is as it always was and always will be
C
Was a stain of pleasant taste of you still in my mouth
Em F C
When I quit smoking I ran out of good reasons to leave the house
[Pre-Chorus]
G F Em
The day breaks the skyline like it's not even there, gotta get as quick as I can back to safe or nowhere
[Chorus]
C
This isn't a healing process, I'm not on the mend
Em C Em
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you terribly and I need to remember that my body's a machine,
F C
my body is a machine
[Verse 2]
C Em
And you look so tiny and scared in the kitchen doing the dishes on your little tippy-toes
C Em
I remember before the wreckage I swung your arms from side to side
F C
Danced a waltz on the kitchen tiles and the last time that I touched you
Em F
would be when I brushed your shoulder in the corridor of our old house
C
We kicked and screamed about whether I was gonna get my bunk back
Em F G
but what I was really saying was I still loved you and you were screaming, "get the fuck out of my house"
[Pre-Chorus]
G F Em
The day breaks the skyline like it's not even there, gotta get as quick as I can back to safe or nowhere
[Chorus]
C
This isn't a healing process, I'm not on the mend
Em C Em
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you terribly and I need to remember that my body's a machine,
F C
my body is a machine
[Verse 3]
Am
You said it was just another thing that you never explained to me
Dm A Am
I was pit-walking a median strip near my parents house - going about sixty
Am Dm A
And I flew for the first and only time in my life
