1. Capo, 4th Fret
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capo 1st fret
Intro: D   Bm   G  A  
Like a Dchild I can Asit in the Bmcorner
with these Gpills I can Dbarely get Aby
so I Dwait for the Ahour of appBmroval
ten Gminutes unAtil it's Dfive
And it's DFriday, so I Adon't feel so Bmlonely
I know the Gwolves are Dout toAnight
the Dsound of Aice in a Bmbottomless glass
tells Gme that Aall that is Dfine
[chorus]
BmPlaying guitar and I'm Gforgetting words
like a Dbaby who just learned to Aspeak
Bmunfinished songs that I Gswear I'd get done
but the Dpremise was just kind of Aweak
Like the Dmoon you are Acold, you are Bmdistant
like the Gsun I can Dburn through the Aday
in the Dvalley the Aecho gets Bmlonger
they've Gall Agone Daway
[chorus]
BmPlaying guitar and I'm Gforgetting words
like a Dbaby who just learned to Aspeak
Bmunfinished songs that I Gswear I'd get done
but the Dpremise was just kind of Aweak
(softly)
There is Dtime to reflAect and Bmponder
as the Gchips fall Dwhere they Amay
I will Dlive for the Asake of Bmothers
so Gthey can Ado the Dsame

our pockets are Dempty
the signal iAs lost
too many Glow times
at such a Dhigh cost
suddenly Dwalking
no Adestination plan
the Gwill so hard to hold
slips out of Dour hands
to much converBmsation
we're losing ouAr voice
it's justiGfication
for lack of a Dchoice
the penniless Bmpreacher
the king of the Ahill
expired presGcription
that we couldn't A#fill
the trigger is Dso soft
and easy tAo squeeze
A miscalcuGlation
missed enormouDsly
a fruitless amDbition
it Awould appear
i Gknow a place that sells pride
not Dfar from here
an aborted Bmmission
that couldn't be Asaved
awards for subGmission
so nicely enDgraved
so perfect the Bmworld is
without anAy view
the smallest of Ghope is
the biggest A#excuse
DsuddenAly a chanBmge
on exApired Gtime
of an A#empty thought
DsysteAmatic flBmaw
in an Aopen Gwound

GSuffocating every breath you take
AmBuilding up a tower just to break
CHold my breath till I turn blue
G C-G-C
Sincerity's the former strongest suit
GOrdinary circumstances that
AmCould never be seen from where you are
CIn a room as small as this
I didn't think that you could seem so Dfar
AmSo I make my rounds to the lCower ground
EmWith a message late to Csend
AmI don't think it's worth the Ctime
D G-C-G-C-G-C-G-C
To make amends
GWinter comes and goes without a word
AmSpring quiets the bad things that I heard
CSummer is a happy time
Most certainly the fall will Ddivide
AmSo you operate with an Copen heart
EmYou forgot to stitch Cagain
AmI don't think it's worth the Ctime
