[Verse 1]
C#m Bsus2 I wasn't starting yet I didn't even think you were listening AM7 C#m7/B C#m I wasn't ready at all to say anything about anything interesting Bsus2 It's a thing you have, you just don't know that you do it AM7 C#m7/B B You wait around in a conversation while I get in and start stumbling through it
[Chorus]
E F#m I was so distracted then, I didn't have it straight in my head F#m7 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 F#m D I was suffering more than I let on, the tropic morning news was on Dsus2 D E C#m There's nothing stopping me now, from saying all the painful parts out loud
[Verse 2]
C#m B Got to my feet feeling that I'd let you down AM7 C#m7/B B Wanted to say it slow and perfect, but it all somehow got switched around C#m B Bsus2 Something went off on its own my dumb, automatic chit-chat AM7 C#m7/B B It's not what I meant to say at all, there's no way you can attach me to that
[Chorus]
E F#m Got up to seize the day with my head in my hands feeling strange D Dsus2 E When all my thinking got mangled, and I caught myself talking myself off the ceiling E F#m Dsus2 I was suffering more than I let on, the tropic morning news was on D E There's nothing stopping me now, from saying all the painful parts out loud
[Post-Chorus]
F#m D Oh, where are all the moments we'd have? Oh, where's the brain we shared? E E7 E Something, somehow has you rapidly improving, F#m Oh, what happened to the wavelength we were on? D Oh, where's the gravity gone? E A Something, somehow has you rapidly improving,

[Bridge]
A E F#m D You found the ache in my argument, you couldn't wait to get out of it A E F#m D You found the slush in my sentiment, you made it sound so intelligent A E F#m You can stop and start an athlete's heart D A E How do I feel about it? I would love to have nothing to do with it D Dsus2 D I would like to move on and be through with it

[Verse 3]
C#m C#m7 I'll be over here lying near the ocean, making ocean sounds AM7 B Let me know if you can come over and work the controls for a while
[Chorus]
E F#m I was so distracted then, I didn't have it straight in my head Dsus2 D I didn't have my face on yet or the role or the feel E Of where I was going with it all F#m Dsus2 I was suffering more than I let on, the tropic morning news was on D Esus4 E There's nothing stopping me now,from saying all the painful parts out loud
[Post-Chorus]
F#m DM7 Oh, where are all the moments we'd have? Oh, where's the brain we shared? E Something, somehow has you rapidly improving, 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,
