E5               A5
Did you mean the things you said?
E5               B5
Were you pulling ankles and legs?
E5               A5
Do you read when you go to bed?
E5               B5
Do you lie there shaking instead?
E5                  A5
Cause it works both ways with the rain
E5           B5
leaving the words unread
E5            A5
and I want to have you again
E5           B5
listening to Bedhead

E5 A5 E5 B5 E5 A5 E5 B5

E5           A5
Try to get a little rest
E5             B5
There's a very big day ahead
E5              A5
I was lost like people feel
E5              B5
before they find God's love

C5              G5
The best I can say now,
A5             E5
"We made it alone,
A5             E5
no help from hot-air balloons,
A5          E5   
saving us in the nick of time"
C5               G5
Don't get your hopes up
A5         E5
Keep them low
A5           E5
Try not to reach so high
A5               E5
Hard work won't pay off in the end

E5 A5 E5 B5 E5 A5 E5 B5

E5            A5
What a broken string of events
E5            B5
What a little tied up loose end
E5               A5
Are you mad that they are all dead?
E5               B5
Do you wish that you'd gone instead?
E5                  A5
Are you pissed that when things got bad
E5                   B5
there was one set of footprints in the sand?
E5             A5
When it's easy you walk alone
E5                 B5
there's a mark for each of your toes

C5                G5
The best I could hope for
A5                E5
is what you'd expect
A5                 E5
White lights like icicles
A5       E5
hung up above the porch
C5                 G5
I'd just like to say now
A5            E5
before things go too far,
A5        E5
"I hated none of you,
A5           E5
I loved you all at the time"

E5 A5 B5 C5 E5 A5 B5 C5 E5 A5 

E5               A5         B5
I like having to run when I don't run
       C5                E5
and it leaves me so, so tired
                  A5          B5
I want better for you and for my son
        C5                   E5      A5
and the lives we're leading now

E5              A5              B5
I like having a tongue when the words come
    C5                E5
And even if it gets tied
                A5          B5
I want cinnamon buns in the morning sun
       C5               E5      A5
in the airport waiting lines

E5                 A5       B5
I like having some fun like anyone
     C5            E5
with loaded water guns
              A5       B5
Your Canadian plum has got me numb
     C5              
Like Novacain in my gum

C5               G5
The best is the smoke blown
A5               E5
back through the flue
A5           E5 
like birds returning to a tree
A5              E5
Where their old nest used to be
C5          G5     
Now things have changed
A5       E5
or maybe not
A5              E5
That's where you learn to fly
A5               E5
That's where our eggshell lies
