Chords

[Verse 1]
        G                  Em
"Loving father, friend and son"

        D               Cmaj7
Printed backwards on my shoulder blade

             G                     Em
From leaning back on a plaque on a bench

        D                     G
I carry David's name until it fades
[Chorus]
D                      Em
  Why does it feel significant?

                 Cmaj7
Why do I have to tell you about it?

G                        Em
  Trying to fall asleep, back flat on the floor

                                  Cmaj7
While you were eating continental breakfast in Singapore

G                          Em
  You make me homesick for places I've never been before

D
  How'd you do that?

C
  How's tomorrow so far?
[Interlude] G D/F# Em D Cmaj7 [Verse 2]
G                           Em
  Meeting your family was a trip

       D
Seeing what you got from them

    G              Em
For better or worse, a blessing and a curse

G                                     Em
  You don't need to love them but you do

                             D
You could take off a year or two

                Cmaj7
Well, I'll be here when you get back

G
  When you told me 'bout your new man

          Cmaj7
It wasn't news
[Chorus]
                                 Em
'Cause you've got all these mannerisms that you never do

     G                     Em
Like rolling your eyes and laughing real dry

              Cmaj7                 D
Like you were trying him on for size

    Cmaj7
And even if it doesn't fit, you'll wear it

       Am7                                 C
'Cause if it's what you want, you're gonna get it
[Interlude] Am7 G Em D [Bridge]
Am7                           G
  I've heard this anecdote at least a dozen times

        Cmaj7                                G
Yeah, I know every word and inflection as if it were mine

       Em
I like watching you win over a new crowd

                                                 G
You can make 'em go wild, you can leave 'em spellbound

    Cmaj7    Am7   G
But you will never be

Em        Cmaj7
Famous to me

Cmaj7    Am7   G
You will never be

Em        Cmaj7
Famous to me
[Chorus]
G                             Em
  I should know my neighbor's names

                        Cmaj7
I should not stay up so late

                                         G
Modigliani melancholy got me long in the face

                           Em
But I feel better when you call

                        D
Just to tell me how you are

                C
How'd you do that?

                  G
How's tomorrow so far?
[Outro]
                         Em
You make me homesick for places I've never been before

C
  How'd you do that?

Em                  G   Cmaj7
  How's tomorrow so far?
