-VERSE-

B7sus4                   E9sus4
Blacking in and out in a strange flat in East London
A6                            Dsus2
Somebody I don't really know just gave me something
    B7sus4                    E9sus4                              A6   Dsus2
To help settle me down and to stop me from always thinking about you


       B7sus4                             E9sus4
And you know you're life is heading in a questionable direction
            A6                                 Dsus2
When you're up for days with strangers and you can't remember anything
 B7sus4                              E9sus4                               A6 Dsus2      
Except the way you sounded when you told me you didn't know what I should do

-CHORUS-

E             E7               Dsus2              E
     it's a long road up to recovery from here
   E7                   Dsus2, A*, A**
A long way back to the light
E             E7               Dsus2              E
     it's a long road up to recovery from here
   E7                   Dsus2, A*, A**
A long way to making it right

-VERSE-

        B7sus4                             E9sus4
And so I wake up in the morning just like every other day
               A6                            Dsus2
And just like every boring blues song I get swallowed by the pain
     B7sus4                         E9sus4                      A6 Dsus2
So I fumble for your figure in the darkness just to make it go away

               B7sus4                      E9sus4
But you're not lying there any longer and I know that that's my fault
           A6                                Dsus2
So I've been pounding on the floor and I've been crawling up the walls
                  B7sus4                 E9sus4                A6                     Dsus2
And I've been dipping in my darkness for serotonin boosters, cider and some kind of smelling salts

-CHORUS-

E             E7               Dsus2              E
     it's a long road up to recovery from here
   E7                   Dsus2, A*, A**
A long way back to the light
E             E7               Dsus2              E
     it's a long road up to recovery from here
   E7                   Dsus2, A*, A**
A long way to making it right

-BRIDGE-
           A6add9                              Dsus2                     B7sus4  Amaj9
So on the first night we met, you said well darling let's make a deal
   A6add9                 Dsus2                                 B7sus4  Amaj9
If anybody ever asks us, let's just tell them that we met in jail

                A6add9                           Dsus2
And that's the story that I'm sticking to like a southern facing compass
     B7sus4                                  Amaj9
But tonight I need to hear some truth if I'm ever getting through this
           A6add9                             Dsus2
Yeah, you once sent me a letter that said if you're lost at sea
         B7sus4                                 Amaj9
Close your eyes and catch the tide my dear and only think of me
        G                                  D/F#
Well, darling now I'm was sinking I'm as lost as lost can be
           E                           E7                       B7sus4, 
And I was hoping you could drag me up from down here towards my recovery

E9sus4, A6, Dsus2    

-VERSE-

             B7sus4                      E9sus4
If you could just give me a sign, just a subtle little glimmer
       A6                                     Dsus2
Some suggestion that you'd have me if I could only make me better
             B7sus4                        E9sus4                      A6     Dsus2
Then I would stand a little stronger as I walk a little taller all the time

         B7sus4                       E9sus4
Because I know you are a cynic but I think I can convince you
             A6                           Dsus2
Yeah, cause broken people can get better if they really want to
      B7sus4                           E9sus4                   A6     Dsus2
Or at least that's what I have to tell myself if I am hoping to survive

-CHORUS-

E             E7               Dsus2              E
     it's a long road up to recovery from here
   E7                   Dsus2, A*, A**
A long way back to the light
E             E7               Dsus2              E
     it's a long road up to recovery from here
   E7                   Dsus2, A*, A**
A long way to making it right
