Ebm (xx4342@1)    BbmYesterday (x13321@1)I spent asleep
Ebm (xx4342@1)			  Db/Ebm7
Woke up in my clothes in a dirty heap
Ebm (xx4342@1)			  BbmSpent (x13321@1)the night trying to make a deadline
Ebm*
Squeezing complicated lives into a simple headline

Ebm (xx4342@1) 		 BbmI (x13321@1)have your face here in an old Polaroid
Ebm (xx4342@1)	Db/Ebm7
Tidying the children's clothes and toys
Ebm*					BbmYou're (x13321@1)smiling back at me, I took the photo from the fridge
Ebm*
Can't remember what then we did

Ebm (xx4342@1)		 	  BbmI (x13321@1)haven't been with a woman, it feels like for years
Ebm (xx4342@1)		Db/Ebm7
Thought of you the whole time, your salty tears
Ebm* 				BbmThis (x13321@1)shitty world sometimes produces a rose
Ebm (xx4342@1)	          Ebm* 		 	EbmThe (xx4342@1)scent of it lingers and then it just goes

===== Verse 2 =====
-------------------

Ebm*					BbmThe (x13321@1)worst of us are a long drawn out confession
Ebm (xx4342@1)				Ebm*
The best of us are geniuses of compression
Ebm*					      BbmYou (x13321@1)say you're not going to leave the truth alone
Ebm (xx4342@1)                                 	Ebm*
I'm here 'cos I don't want to go home

Ebm (xx4342@1)			BbmChild (x13321@1)drinking dirty water from the river bank
Ebm (xx4342@1)			Ebm*
Soldier brings oranges he got out from a tank
Ebm (xx4342@1)				Db/Ebm7
I'm waiting on the waiter, he's taking a while to come
Ebm*
Watching the sun go down on Lebanon

----------------------------

Db (x43121@1)		BbmNow (x13321@1)I've got a head like a lit cigarette
Ebm (xx4342@1)		Ebm*
Unholy clouds reflecting in a minaret
Db (x43121@1)			BbmYou're (x13321@1)so high above me, higher than everyone
Ebm*
Where are you in the Cedars of Lebanon?

Ebm (xx4342@1)				   EbmMake (xx4342@1)them interesting 'cos in some ways they will mind you

Gonna last with you longer than your friend
