Darren Hanlon - Couch Surfing
C#
C#Well I haven't paid rent in a month or more
BbmI'm cG#ouch surfing
C#And I don't have a key cause I don't have a door
BbmI'm cG#ouch surfing
F#I'm not taking calls
I'm between houses
C#
C#Of my material possessions I've lost track
BbmI didG#n't need them
C#Everything I need fits in my backpack
BbmI calG#l it freedom
F#A pair Ebmof jeans some shirts and a guitar lead
F#A tootEbmhbrush, socks and a paperback reader
C#All the reBbmst iF#s what's C#hanginEbg off of me
C#
F#And I'm not answering questions
I'm between houses
C#
C#OutsidBbme the niG#ght is cold and stormy
C#And you Bbmblew up G#the air mattress for me
F#We'll Ebmtalk all night like an open book
F#And IEbm'll sleep on every breath you took
C#Before you BbmleaF#ve I'll C#sneak a Eblook up at you
F# G#
C#But there's an old saying that could bare retelling
BbmWhen G#you're couch surfing:
C#'the guest should leave before the fish starts smelling'
BbmWhen G#your couch surfing
F#It's Ebmromantically existential
F#To rEbmeduce your life to the bare essential
C#All that wBbmhich F#is incoC#nsequenEbtial guides me
Bbm
F#But Ebmthis whole theory really depends
F#On wEbmeather or not you've got good friends
F#And Ebmall this weightlessness the philosopher preach
F#ReduEbmces you to societies leach
F#But Ebmtonight i've landed on my feet
F#I'm Ebmstill one friend away from the bum on the street
F#And Ebmi've used up all my good will vouchers
F#On eEbmvery single friend with couches
F#It wEbmon't be long before they'll ask me to leave
F#It's Ebmtime i cut myself some keys
C#GivBbme me F#a C#pen Ebi'F#ll sC#ign a lease and go get me a home
Thats the whole song. HY.

Darren Hanlon - Couch Surfing

Well I haven't paid rent in a month or more

Bbm G#

I'm couch surfing

And I don't have a key cause I don't have a door

Bbm G#

I'm couch surfing

I'm not taking calls

I'm between houses

Of my material possessions I've lost track

Bbm G#

I didn't need them

Everything I need fits in my backpack

Bbm G#

I call it freedom

F# Ebm

A pair of jeans some shirts and a guitar lead

F# Ebm

A toothbrush, socks and a paperback reader

C# Bbm F# C# Eb

All the rest is what's hanging off of me

And I'm not answering questions

I'm between houses

C# Bbm G#

Outside the night is cold and stormy

C# Bbm G#

And you blew up the air mattress for me

F# Ebm

We'll talk all night like an open book

F# Ebm

And I'll sleep on every breath you took

C# Bbm F# C# Eb

Before you leave I'll sneak a look up at you

F# G#

But there's an old saying that could bare retelling

Bbm G#

When you're couch surfing:

'the guest should leave before the fish starts smelling'

Bbm G#

When your couch surfing

F# Ebm

It's romantically existential

F# Ebm

To reduce your life to the bare essential

C# Bbm F# C# Eb

All that which is inconsequential guides me

Bbm

F# Ebm

But this whole theory really depends

F# Ebm

On weather or not you've got good friends

F# Ebm

And all this weightlessness the philosopher preach

F# Ebm

Reduces you to societies leach

F# Ebm

But tonight i've landed on my feet

F# Ebm

I'm still one friend away from the bum on the street

F# Ebm

And i've used up all my good will vouchers

F# Ebm

On every single friend with couches

F# Ebm

It won't be long before they'll ask me to leave

F# Ebm

It's time i cut myself some keys

C# Bbm F# C# Eb F# C#

Give me a pen i'll sign a lease and go get me a home

Thats the whole song. HY.
