Intro - chords version 

G C Em C 

G            C               Em              C 
If I made it to your bedroom, I would never leave 
G                  C                Em                C 
Faded reflections fill the water, they look just like me 

Verse 
G                     C                         Em                 C 
I sit in my house and look around for scattered pieces of anything 
G                           C 
Never been good at spilling my guts 
                  Em                               C 
You are going to have to pull them right out of me 
                    Em                              D 
But if you make it out of the weeds, you will stumble over your feet 
                         C                            D 
Then I'll bite down and look away because that is easy 
                   Em                              D 
And if I am barely hanging in, then I'll get by on sleight of hand 
                    C                            D 
I need a spot where I can lean and scribble my plans 
N.C. 
Still not sure of them 
 

C G D 

Em                   D 
Well, that's just too damn bad for you 

C G D 

D 
That's too damn bad for both of us 

G C Em C 


Verse 
G             C                      Em                         C 
I draw figure eights with my words, they never find a place to land 
            G                           C 
Though I'm feeling real old and you're getting there too 
   Em                             C 
I love you now like I loved you then 
 
Bridge:
         Em           D             C               D 
We are dressed for success and our neckties cut our airflow 
                Em              D 
Now that we are wooden, we are focused 
                 C 
I said, "that's too damn bad for us" 
                    D 
And you said, "no, that's too bad for you" 

Verse 

         G 
I am so confident 
                      C 
Either that, or I'm full of shit 
              Em                            C 
And maybe I'm incompetent stacked on top of it 
            G 
I am always overwhelmed 
               C                          Em 
Every big and little thing crashes hard into me 
              C 
It gets swept underneath, underneath 
              G                                C 
And it took a lifetimes worth of work to be as unpleasant as I am 
              Em                                  C 
And I don't think that I will ever turn it back 
                 G                                    C 
Yeah, it took a lifetimes worth of work to become as careless as I am 
              Em                           C          D                 C 
And I don't think that I will ever turn it back, turn it back, turn it back 


G D 

Em                 D 
Well, that's just too damn bad for you 

C G D 

Em           D                  G 
That's too damn bad for both of us
