Intro:
G D Cadd9 C Em7 G
G D Cadd9
Gray, quiet and tired and mean,
D G
Picking at a worried seam,
D C9
I try to make you mad at me
Em7 D
Over the phone.
G D Cadd9
Red, eyes and fire and signs,
D G
I’m taken by a nursery rhyme,
D Cadd9
I want to make a ray of sunshine,
Em7 D
And never leave me home.
Cadd9 D
No amount of coffee, no amount of crying,
G Em7
No amount of whiskey, no amount of wine,
A Cadd9
No, no, no, no, no.
Bm Em A
Nothing else will do, I gotta have you
C D G
I gotta have you
BRIDGE:
Em7 D
The road gets cold,
Cadd9 D
There’s no spring in the middle this year,
Em7 D Cadd9 D
And I’m the new chicken clucking open hearts and ears.
Em7 D
Oh, such a prima donna,
Cadd9 D
Sorry for myself.
Em7 D
But green, it’s also summer,
Cadd9 A Em D Dsus4 D
And I won’t be warm until I’m laying in your arms.
G D Cadd9
I see it all through a telescope,
D G
Guitar, suitcase, and a warm coat,
D Cadd9
Lying the back of a blue boat,
D
Humming a tune...
