First Verse:
GD
I fell asleep in the chair by the fireplace
C
And I woke up in the kitchen sink
GD
With an umbrella full of holes overtop my head and
GEm
I fell asleep on the table with your picture in hand
C
And I woke up in the cupboard
GD
With some scrapes on my arms and a mouthful of hell
Second Verse:
Em
Chains are rattling in the attic again
CG
And the birds are building nests in the windowsill
Dust has settled over everything
D
And the ceiling fan still cuts a lazy circle
Em
I got a picture on the mantle piece
CG
Of the way that I thought that we'd end up
But this shares no resemblance to that
DG
Yeah, that shares no resemblance to that at all
Third Verse:
GD
I tore the dreams from my head and tossed them in the flames
C
And the smoke smelled like my past
GD
And it stung my eyes, but I was too stubborn to blink and
GEm
I slept inside the piano 'till the rain was gone
C
And I woke up when I saw the sun
G
And wiped the sleep from my eyes
D
Yeah, I knew my time had come
Interlude/Accordion Solo:

Last Bit:
CDGEm
We're all still a part of everything that we were
CDG
And we'll all float along with everything
EmCDG
And in turn, we'll all fall apart with everything
EmCDEm
But we'll learn just what things are like outside our heads
CDEmG
And I hear them singing
CDEmG
And I hear my name
CDGD/F#Em
And I feel you scrub my skin
CDG
And I was happy to fade
