I love this song, and i'm almost 100% sure this is right.
Comments and corrections welcome.
C G
the rain starts off and it wakes you up
E Am C F
you can't sleep with that racket on the roof
C G
you get up slow but you can't get going
E Am C F
it seems this morning the lowness has won
C G E
did you stop to see? mediocrity and your self pity,
Am C F
they were stealing a kiss, look at their lips, still shiny
C G
did you notice that happiness
E Am C F
happens less the more often you stop to find where it's been hiding
C G
you say, "it's not my fault that i get so low
E Am
there's a weight on my soul that just keeps pulling me down,
C F
it's pulling me down, i swear it"
Am G C F
so come on by my house and unleash me your monsters
Am G C F
with you at the healm we'll go crashing around together
Am G C F
and don't mistake some initial hate for something more than cautionary
Am G C F
cause baby this is love, i'll come down to hell to keep you company
Am F C G
of all the days we've got we should be screaming out...
Am F C G
of all the days we've got we should be singing...
C G Am G x2
(C) G Am
what's to be done? one hundred and one
G C
in a tent for twelve with fingers and elbows
G Am
in innocent ribs, we're minding our business
G C
we're just minding our business instead of minding our minds
G Am
in times when the storms will ravage your clothes,
G C
the sound and the colour could render you blind
G Am
and the throes of a nightmare can sing you to sleep
G C
then some foreign machine wakes you up at a mean hour
G Am
but heaven is there, under your hair,
G C
it hides in the noon noise way up in the air
G Am
like a bird on the breeze
G C
waiting for you and maybe me too
(C) G Am G x2
(C) G Am
whats there to do? one hundred and two
G C
are out on the doorstep and they're pushing the bolts back
G Am
they're wanting in, they're humming our hymn
G C
everybodys singing like beautiful birds...
G Am C
everybodys singing like beautiful birds...
(C) G Am G
in the trees, listen to it, it's easy man, you can do it too
C G Am G
sing: i know what i want
C G Am G
i know what i need
cause it's the simplest thing
Am F C G
of all the nights we've got we should be stepping out...
Am F C G
of all the nights we've got we should be stepping out...
Am F C G
of all the nights we touch we should be swinging around from house to house
C G
if i could cheer you up it would mean so much,
Am G Am F
clowns in love and laughing it off, laughing it off, laughing it off
C G
you say, "its not my fault that i get so low
E Am E
but to drown you too, that's a sick way to love, it's a sick way to love,
F
it's a fucking sick way to love"
