Am F C
That hashtag wants me dead, but I don’t mind

It’s just another way we grieve

For all the times we fail to be the ones
Am F C
We thought we had the chance to be
[Chorus 1]

And when it gets too complicated

When you can’t get to sleep

When the morning seems impossible

The good old days were mostly bad

But I recall how dark the night got then
Am F C
How absences could make me glad
[Chorus 2]

So when it’s too illuminated

[Verse 1]
Em G C
So your presentation went terrible
Em G C
All wrong dongle, sweat stains and stares
Em G C
Leave the TV on with the sound down low
Em G C
In your underwear
[Chorus 1]
A C
Don't despair, you'll get it right
G D
Tomorrow night in Thunder Bay maybe
A C
Don't delay, your day is short
G D
You can't afford to wait
[Verse 2]
Em G C
I believe in you and your PowerPoints
Em G C
I know why you can't stay awake
Em G C
Out on Highway One with a rental car
Em G C
And a lot to say
[Chorus 2]
A C
Don't despair, you'll get it right
G D
Tomorrow night in Nipigon, maybe
A C
Don't delay, our day is short
G D
We can't afford to wait

[Outro]
D Am C G
So take that laminate out of your wallet and read it

And recommit yourself to the healing of the world

And to the welfare of all creatures upon it

Pursue a practice that will strengthen your heart

Woke up in a parking lot

Air-mattresses gone flat

The sun selecting targets for the shadows to attack

So make a visor with your hand

And squint at where you're from

A lonely line of buildings you can block out with your thumb
[Refrain 1]

Em D/F# G C
So stay a while and watch the wind throw patterns on a field
G
This crop withstood the months of snow
C
The scavengers and blight
Em D/F# G Asus2
Tuned every ear towards a tiny lengthening of light
[Refrain 2]

And found a way
