Chords
The chords in the bridge sections are a little finnicky, but the verses and choruses are right.
Happy to get corrections :)
[Intro]
C#m B A B
[Verse 1]
C#m I wasn't starting yet B I didn't even think you were listening A I wasn't ready at all B To say anything about anything interesting C#m It's a thing you have B You just don't know that you do it A You wait around in a conversation B While I get in and start stumbling through it
[Chorus]
E I was so distracted then F#m I didn't have it straight in my head D I didn't have my face on yet or the role or the feel E Of where I was going with it all E I was suffering more than I let F#m On. The tropic morning news was on D There's nothing stopping me now E From saying all the painful parts out loud
[Verse 2]
C#m Got to my feet B Feeling that I'd let you down A Wanted to say it slow and perfect B But it all somehow got switched around C#m Something went off on its own B My dumb, automatic chit-chat A It's not what I meant to say at all B There's no way you can attach me to that
[Chorus]
E Got up to seize the day F#m With my head in my hands feeling strange D When all my thinking got mangled E And I caught myself talking myself off the ceiling E I was suffering more than I let F#m on, the tropic morning news was on D There's nothing stopping me now E From saying all the painful parts out loud
[Post-Chorus]
E F#m Oh, where are all the moments we'd have? D Oh, where's the brain we shared? E Something somehow has you rapidly improving E F#m Oh, what happened to the wavelength we were on? D Oh, where's the gravity gone? E Something somehow has you rapidly improving
[Bridge]
A E F#m D
A E F#m D
A E You found the ache in my argument F#m D You couldn't wait to get out of it A E You found the slush in my sentiment F#m D You made it sound so intelligent A E You can stop and start an athlete's heart F#m D How do I feel about it? A E I would love to have nothing to do with it D I would like to move on and be through with it
[Verse 3]
C#m B A B
C#m B I'll be over here lying near the ocean
Making ocean sounds
A Let me know if you can come over B And work the controls for a while
[Chorus]
E I was so distracted then F#m I didn't have it straight in my head D I didn't have my face on yet or the role or the feel E Of where I was going with it all E I was suffering more than I let F#m on, The tropic morning news was on D There's nothing stopping me now E From saying all the painful parts out loud
[Post-Chorus]
E F#m Oh, where are all the moments we'd have? D Oh, where's the brain we shared? E Something somehow has you rapidly improving E F#m Oh, what happened to the wavelength we were on? D Oh, where's the gravity gone? E Something somehow has you rapidly improving
