[Intro]

F#m11 B E A

[Verse 1]

F#m11 B E A

So satisfied I said a lot of things tonight

F#m11 B E A

So long aphasia and the ways it kept me hiding

F#m11 B E A

It's not so much exactly all the words I used

F#m11 B E A

It's more that I was somehow down to let them loose

[Verse 2]

F#m11 B E A

So complicated I can't wait to get explaining

F#m11 B E A

Your listening distended out since I've been crying

F#m11 B E A

So long aphasia and the ways it kept me hid-den

F#m11 B E A

So long to silent nerves and hesitant oblivion

[Bridge ]

F#m11 B E A

You came and sent me out unfurling in the street

F#m11 B E A

And I felt unprecedented confidence in speaking

[Bridge 2]

F#m11 B E A

Just stick around I'm thinking things'll be alright

A B E A

Newly delivered won't you live with me tonight

[Verse 4]

F#m11 B E A

Something tonight was such a letdown on my pride

F#m11 B E A

It takes a part of me I don't got to take some things in stride

F#m11 B E A

I'd pace around the place so quiet in myself

F#m11 B E A

I'd wake the next and see my silence went unfelt

[Bridge 3]

F#m11 B E A

Just when I thought I had this pattern sorted out

F#m11 B E A

Apparently my ventricles are full of doubt now

[Verse 5]

E B E A

Nah things go wrong sometimes don't let it freak you out

F#m11 B E A

But if I don't have you by me then I'll go underground

F#m11 B E A

Nah but what you've got was in your reaches all along

F#m11 B E A

Plus one day you'll be reaching for me and I'll be gone

F#m11 B E A

To help remind myself I wrote this little song

[Outro]

A E C#m

One day I won't need your love

A E C#m F#m11

One day I won't define myself by the one I'm thinkin of

A E C#m

And if one day I won't need it

A E C#m A B E A

One day you won't need it
