Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
We ear- marked our August va
A 
G 
D 
cation as a fine place to fall apart
A 
And we heard that a trial seperation
G 
D 
was a quaint idea for a new start
A 
Then the city approached like a bandit my
G 
D 
hands shook as they gripped the wheel
A 
As if I'd always known theres no place like home
G 
D 
to show you the way that you feel

Interlude 1

Verse 2
D 
A 
A rainy afternoon in your bedroom
G 
D 
clothes in two piles on the floor
A 
G 
One is labelled old couture the other's
D 
marked arms for the poor
A 
I'm just loitering trying to look helpful
G 
D 
you offer two corners of the sheet
A 
We fold over and over and over again and
G 
then in the middle we'll meet

Interlude 2

Verse 3
D 
A 
Now some days I feel like an en gagement
G 
D 
ring resting on the ocean floor
A 
Yet others just like that same Glen Campbell
G 
D 
record found in every second hand store
A 
Now right now I'm watching a drummer
G 
D 
haul his drums into a bar
A 
And deep down I'm secretly happy
G 
D 
that I play the harmonica

Verse 4
Bm 
G 
No, I'm not saying I'm lazy I just
Bm 
A 
take more time to digress
D 
A 
And I've more than three ways I empty my days
G 
D 
now that you're not around to impress
A 
(I've more than three ways I empty my days
G 
D 
now that you're not around to impress)

Verse 5

Those forming morning birds

They dont do things by thirds

Verse 6
D 
And your voice sounds just like it's
A 
G 
D 
reading from a birthday telegram
A 
It says "You're looking a little older"  and
G 
D 
I say "That's funny because I am"
A 
Last year escaped by the window and this
G 
D 
year's going for a song
A 
And the church bells they're
G 
D 
plagarising 'merily we roll along'

Verse 7
Bm 
G 
No, we  weren't together forever but
Bm 
A 
then what the hell does that mean?
D 
One persons lifetime,
A 
G 
D 
the history of mankind or the years since I turned seventeen?
(One persons lifetime,
A 
G 
D 
the history of mankind or the years since you turned seventeen)
Yeah, I was light- headed,
A 
G 
D 
unfettered and I falsely claimed to know the dimensions of love
A 
I was prone to wild exageration saying
G 
D 
things  I had no concept of

Verse 8
D 
A 
Maybe love takes the form of a mountain
G 
D 
with no choice but forever to linger
A 
Maybe love lives in a soap bubble
G 
D 
at the mercy of a child's finger
Bm 
G 
But each with a little rainbow
Bm 
A 
designed to hypnotise us
D 
A 
G 
And I wouldn't trade one heartbroken minute for a years worth of
D 
dull happiness

Interlude 3

Verse 9
D 
A 
So I built myself another lifetime oh how
G 
D 
quick did the calender grow
A 
And right now im seven years wiser than I
G 
D 
was twenty five years ago
Bm 
G 
I stopped to play with this cat on the footpath
Bm 
A 
and he's cleaning his head with his paw
D 
A 
And I know that you're gone so I'm moving on still
G 
D 
G 
I know that you're worth mourning for
D 
A 
Now I'm feeling just fine but I'm taking my time
G 
'cause I know that you're worth mourning for
