-VERSE-

A~                       E7sus4~
Blacking in and out in a strange flat in East London
 A/C#~                  Dsus2~
Somebody I don't really know just gave me something
   A~                         E7sus4~                        

A/C#~   Dsus2~
To help settle me down and to stop me from always thinking 

about you

        A~                               E7sus4~
And you know you're life is heading in a questionable direction
            A/C#~                              Dsus2~
When you're up for days with strangers and you can't remember 

anything
  A~                                E7sus4~                     

          A/C#~ D  E
Except the way you sounded when you told me you didn't know 

what I should do

-CHORUS-

             E7                Dsus2        E
Well, it's a long road up to recovery from here
  E7                   Dsus2>A/D/Asus2/D  E
A long way back to the light
  E7                Dsus2        E
A long road up to recovery from here
  E7                    D
A long way to making it right

-VERSE-

         A                                E7sus4
And so I wake up in the morning just like every other day
              A/C#                          Dsus2
And just like every boring blues song I get swallowed by the 

pain
     A                             E7sus4                       

A/C#  Dsus2
So I fumble for your figure in the darkness just to make it go 

away

               A                            E7sus4
But you're not lying there any longer and I know that that's my 

fault
             A/C#                                Dsus2
So I've been pounding on the floor and I've been crawling up 

the walls
              A                              E7sus4          

A/C#                   D              E
And I've been dipping in my darkness for serotonin boosters, 

cider and some kind of smelling salts

-CHORUS-

             E7                Dsus2        E
Well, it's a long road up to recovery from here
  E7                   Dsus2>A/D/Asus2/D  E
A long way back to the light
  E7                Dsus2        E
A long road up to recovery from here
  E7                    D
A long way to making it right

-BRIDGE-

          A6add9~                           Dsus2~              

A    E/G#
So on the first night we met, you said well darling lets make a 

deal
      A6add9~                       Dsus2~                   A  

  E/G#
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 stony faced 

accomplice
      A                                      E/G#
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
           A                                   E/G#
Close your eyes and catch the tide my dear and only think of me

      G                              D         
Well, darling now I'm sinking I'm as lost as lost can be
          E                Aadd9           Bsus4/D           E  

      A>Asus2
And I was hoping you could drag me up from down here towards my 

recovery

-VERSE-

             A                           E7sus4
If you could just give me a sign, just a subtle little glimmer
       A/C#                                   Dsus2
Some suggestion that you'd have me if I could only make me 

better
             A                            E7sus4                

       A/C#  Dsus2
Then I would stand a little stronger as I walk a little taller 

all the time

          A                          E7sus4
Because I know you are a cynic but I think I can convince you
            A/C#                         Dsus2
Yeah, cause broken people can get better if they really want to
      A                                  E7sus4              

A/C#   D   E
Or at least that's what I have to tell myself if I am hoping to 

survive

Well, it's a long road up to recovery from here
