ABlacking in and out in a Bm7strange flat in East London
A/C# [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
Somebody I don't really know just gave me something
A Bm7 A/C# [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
To help settle me down and to stop me from always thinking about you
And you kAnow you're life is heading in a Bm7questionable direction
A/C# [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
When you're up for days with strangers and you can't remember anything
A Bm7 A/C# [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
Except the way you sounded when you told me you didn't know what I should do
[Chorus]
E [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch] E
it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 Dsus2, A*, A**
A long way back to the light
E [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch] E
it's a long road up to recovery from here
[ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
A long way to making it right
[Verse 2]
And so I wAake up in the morning just like Bm7every other day
A/C# [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
And just like every boring blues song I get swallowed by the pain
A Bm7 A/C# [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
So I fumble for your figure in the darkness just to make it go away
But you're not Alying there any longer and I Bm7know that that's my fault
A/C# [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
So I've been pounding on the floor and I've been crawling up the walls
A Bm7 A/C# [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
And I've been dipping in my darkness for serotonin boosters, cider and some kind of smelling salts
[Chorus]
E [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch] E
it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 Dsus2, A*, A**
A long way back to the light
E [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch] E
it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 Dsus2(riff 1)
A long way to making it right
[Bridge]
F#m [ch]Dsus2[/ch] A
So on the first night we met, you said well darling let's make a deal
F#m [ch]Dsus2[/ch] A
If anybody ever asks us, let's just tell them that we met in jail
F#m [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
And that's the story that I'm sticking to like a stoney faced accomplice
But tonAight I need to hear some truth if I'm E/G#ever getting through this
F#m [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
Yeah, you once sent me a letter that said if you're lost at sea
Close your Aeyes and catch the tide my dear and E/G#only think of me
G [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
Well, darling now I'm was sinking I'm as lost as lost can be
E [ch]E7[/ch] A
And I was hoping you could drag me up from down here towards my recovery
A Bm7 A/C# [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
A Bm7 A/C# [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
[Verse 3]
If you could jAust give me a sign, just a Bm7subtle little glimmer
A/C# [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
Some suggestion that you'd have me if I could only make me better
A Bm7 A/C# [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
Then I would stand a little stronger as I walk a little taller all the time
Because I Aknow you are a cynic but I Bm7think I can convince you
A/C# [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
Yeah, cause broken people can get better if they really want to
A Bm7 A/C# [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
Or at least that's what I have to tell myself if I am hoping to survive
[Chorus]
E [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch] E
it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 Dsus2, A*, A**
A long way back to the light
E [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch] E
it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 Dsus2(riff 1)
A long way to making it right
[Chorus]
E [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch] E
it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 Dsus2, A*, A**
A long way back to the light
E [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch] E
it's a long road up to recovery from here
[ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
A long way to making it right
[Outro]
ASo, darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover
Bm7Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover
A/C#Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover
[ch]Dsus2[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
Darling, sweet lover, one day this will all be over
