[ Bb5 ]             [ Eb5 ]                [ G5 ]           [ F5 ]
Pull down the blinds and stare at my blank screen
[ Bb5 ]            [ Eb5 ]           [ G5 ]           [ F5 ]
Some voice is asking how my weekend's been!
[ Bb5 ]          [ Eb5 ]           [ G5 ]        [ F5 ]
Planes go across the sky of Petersham
[ Bb5 ]              [ Eb5 ]          [ G5 ]                    [ F5 ]
One day I will see all the hope that's stored in them


[ G5 ]              [ F5 ]   [ Bb5 ]         [ Eb5 ]
The pale underside catches the light
[ Bb5 ]            [ Eb5 ]           [ G5 ]           [ F5 ]
Like a see-saw I need more weight to carry me up
[ Bb5 ]            [ Eb5 ]           [ G5 ]           [ F5 ]
Maybe one day she will just say that she's happy enough, happy enough


[ Bb5 ] [ Eb5 ] [ G5 ] [ F5 ]

[ Bb5 ]            [ Eb5 ]           [ G5 ]           [ F5 ]
Leaves haven't fallen yet but winter's been too long
[ Bb5 ]            [ Eb5 ]           [ Gm]           [ F5 ]
Grief hits me like a succession of time bombs


[ G5 ]                [ F5 ]     [ Bb5 ]               [ Eb5 ]
I've run out of reasons to explain it away
[ Bb5 ]            [ Eb5 ]           [ G5 ]                 [ F5 ]
Like a see-saw I need more weight to carry me up
[ Bb5 ]           [ Eb5 ]                  [ G5 ]                 [ F5 ]
Maybe one day she will just say that she's happy enough
[ Bb5 ]            [ Eb5 ]                       [ G5 ]                  [ F5 ]
If I was older then I would hold her tight and say "don't you ever leave me"
     [ Bb5 ]              [ Eb5 ]                   [ G5 ]                 [ F5 ]
And then maybe one day she will just say that she's happy enough, 
           [ Bb5 ]            [ Eb5 ]           [ G5 ]           [ F5 ]
happy enough
