Again this is more a piano song but i'll tab the chords out so that they sound like the song.
Verse part 1:
F C/E Dm
Stephen, I love you, I can't grow past you,
D
I'm, homesick in spite of the place
F C/E Dm
that I fostered and styled to raise this child
D
who keeps me in pitch and in pace
Verse part 2:
Bb Am A/C# Dm
But I miss reaching for the lasers,
Am A/G Dm
the sound of the beat is eight clicks away,
Am A/C# Dm
classes, school behaviour.
Gm
sweating the night out of the sky,
G
learning to laugh and not ask why.
Verse part 1:
(same chords but with riff 1)
Stephen, I missed you,
the whole world kissed you.
You shut up in bloom like a fern
that was spotted and black,
with the leaves swirled backwards,
as same trick too easy to turn.
Verse part 2:
Should I change my name and move to the country?
A life full of children and animals,
white fences, landed gentry.
Gm
Maybe I want to be myself,
G C A/C#
but I am somebody else.
Chorus part 1:
Dm Dm/C Bbmaj7
Nine months later, I'm the lonely one,
Bb F
with all the fruit of labour and half of the fun.
F C/E Dm
(just like) crisp and cozy in the rising sun,
Bbmaj7 F
we've got a heart of gold, man, it beats like a drum.
Chorus part 2:
Bbmaj7 F A Dm
It shakes, the pebbles are cracking and break,
F A Dm
(the kid logic) dissolves and it all starts to give away,
F A Dm
then nothing is ever the same, I can't stand it.
Gm
I want to be myself,
G
but I am somebody else
Verse part 1:(with riff 1)
Stephen, I'm watching the world get boring,
there's too much restraint in the mix.
I'd be overly flattered to feel so shattered to,
have something broken and fixed.
Verse part2:
But i know the world outside is knocking
the dream, the drive or the pedigree.
The forces interlocking,
well, maybe I want to be myself,
but I am somebody else.

Bridge:
Bb
And you'll never have someone like me,
G/B
if you'll never leave then you'll never see.
Bb F
I swear that I will pull you from the wreckage
Am A/C# Dm
of this sunday, monday routine.
Bb
I will pull you from the wreckage.
F
oh, don't you leave me on my own.
Am A/C# Dm
Cos you and me,
Bbmaj7
we're two of a kind.
F
We're two of a kind.
Outro:
F C/E Dm Dm/C
Stephen, I love you, I can't grow past you,
Bb F
I have nothing left to give to you.
