Verse 1:
D                D7
  I dont care to know
                G
The time on the wall
                 Gm
The placement of my
                  D
shoes on the wood floor
                  C
The last boat has left
                G
Cant carry you afloat
                     Gm
I fear the empty wet bed
               D
The empty grey coat
             C
And i wont go till you're 
      G
asleep You open your mouth
                 Gm
Like an asthma attack you repeat

For now hold me lightly

Verse 2:
D               C
  I look to the floor
Your hair like cut 
G
grass Your vomit
   Gm
It forms a gold 
                 D
chain round your neck
                C
I wont make you up
                 G
No need for last words
                Gm
These last idle hours
              D
More than i desereve
