Chords

[Intro] C [Verse 1]
           G                               F                           C
Is there really someone out there cooking all of this up, he needs it hot
He's not trying to find me in a microscope
                       G
And I'm not trying to cope with the idea

           F
He says, "Nope", when his friends ask him

        C
If he thinks I'm really looking up from way down here

          G
Is there really someone down there trying to hold on to a world?

             C
He'll never see me writing notes, or knocking planets over with my pen

         G                          F                            C
In this moment I stay still, I feel I should try to disturb nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
   C                                G   F
But I tend to digress from time to time....
[Break] C [Verse 2]
  G
Back here in the headlights

      F
I compare and I contrast

              C
It's fair to say sometimes I make things last longer than they want to last

 G
Fall when I was younger

          F                                      C
Or next spring when I'll be singing songs about now
Wondering just how I got from there to here
G
  Or the other way around

   F
Am I just a proper noun?
[Chorus]
C                               G   F
I tend to digress from time to time....

      C                              Am
Yeah, I tend to digress from time to time

                            A7sus4
Is it time to start over again?
Oh time, Is it time to start over again? [Bridge]
            G
But I want meaning I want reason

           F
It's not enough to have a pleasing morning

  C
Listening to birds sing songs about getting their money's worth

        G
Or the earth beneath the cement

             F
Beneath the chair I'm sitting in

           C
Under the roof over my head
Under a sky that's turning red
           G
Under the stars, begin to shine

       F
As I become unstuck in time

       C
Waking up in strange places

                                         G
Chasing good conversations with my friends

                               F
Where'd my mind go? With my friends
What do I know?
C                                G
I tend to digress from time to time
