Capo 3rd fret
Em Am Em Bm Em Am Em Bm
EmDid you mean the Amthings you said?
EmWere you pulling Bmankles and legs?
EmDo you read when Amyou go to bed?
EmDo you lie there Bmshaking instead?
EmCause it works both Amways with the rain
Emleaving the wBmords unread
Emand I want to Amhave you again
Emlistening to BmBedhead
Em Am Em Bm Em Am Em Bm
EmTry to get a Amlittle rest
EmThere's a very Bmbig day ahead
EmI was lost like Ampeople feel
Embefore they find BmGod's love
CThe best I can Gsay now,
Am"We made it aloEmne,
Amno help from hoEmt-air balloons,
Amsaving us in Emthe nick of time"
CDon't get your hGopes up
AmKeep them lEmow
AmTry not to reEmach so high
AmHard work won't pEmay off in the end
Em Am Em Bm Em Am Em Bm
EmWhat a broken Amstring of events
EmWhat a little Bmtied up loose end
EmAre you mad that Amthey are all dead?
EmDo you wish that Bmyou'd gone instead?
EmAre you pissed that Amwhen things got bad
Emthere was one set of Bmfootprints in the sand?
EmWhen it's easy Amyou walk alone
Emthere's a mark for Bmeach of your toes
CThe best I could Ghope for
Amis what you'd expeEmct
AmWhite lights like iEmcicles
Amhung up aEmbove the porch
CI'd just like to sGay now
Ambefore things Emgo too far,
Am"I hated nEmone of you,
AmI loved you aEmll at the time"
Em Am Bm C Em Am Bm C Em Am
EmI like having to Amrun when I Bmdon't run
and it Cleaves me so, so Emtired
I want better for Amyou and for Bmmy son
and the Clives we're leading EmnowAm  
EmI like having a Amtongue when the Bmwords come
And Ceven if it gets tEmied
I want cinnamon Ambuns in the Bmmorning sun
in the Cairport waiting EmlinesAm  
EmI like having some Amfun like Bmanyone
with Cloaded water Emguns
Your Canadian Amplum has Bmgot me numb
Like CNovacain in my gum
CThe best is the Gsmoke blown
Amback through the Emflue
Amlike birds reEmturning to a tree
AmWhere their old Emnest used to be
CNow things Ghave changed
Amor maybe Emnot
AmThat's where you Emlearn to fly
AmThat's where our Emeggshell lies

there was one set of footprints in the sand?

I want cinnamon buns in the morning sun

in the airport waiting lines

Em Am Bm

I like having some fun like anyone

C Em

with loaded water guns

Am Bm

Your Canadian plum has got me numb

Like Novacain in my gum

C G

The best is the smoke blown

Am Em

back through the flue

Am Em

like birds returning to a tree

Am Em

Where their old nest used to be

C G

Now things have changed

Am Em

or maybe not

Am Em

That's where you learn to fly

Am Em

That's where our eggshell lies
