INTRO:C
C Dadd4 Em
Keep it tight against your chest
C
This is my time
Dadd4 Em
I d like to see the table turned
C
Trade your placemat with mine
Dadd4 Em
See if you can still make a ball
C Dadd4 C
Or maybe eat the apple whole
Dadd4 Em
And the furthest I could reach
C
Was as close as I had come
Dadd4 Em
I m in over my knees
C
And still the only one
Dadd4 Em
Who has to get get a grip on himself
C Dadd4 C
I could use some outside help
INSTRUMENTAL: G C C G X2
D
It s already stale
C G
It s just getting older and my sights
C
We re sinking so quick
G C
That the best I could do was jump ship
C Dadd4 Em
Waiting with bad bated breath
C
For the winds to change
Dadd4 Em
It s just a well worn-out suggestion
C
To occupy the day
Dadd4 Em
I wished that I knew when I threw it away
C Dadd4 C
That I could deal with feeling this strange
G C C G
But it sounds so similar
C C G
To something that I ve done before
C C G
So I give myself a slap on the wrist
C C D
And you jam my hand in the door
It raises a smile from you
C
But it s only worth a by-line mention
Em G
A simple footnote from an impractical joke
C G
Couldn t seem to hold your attention
