Tuned down half step to Eb
Intro: G, D , C x2
G
Measure me in metered lines
Bm
And one decisive stare
D C
The time it takes to get from here to there
G
My ribs that show through t-shirts
Bm
And these shoes I got for free
D
I'm unconsoled
C
I'm lonely, I am
D C Bm A
So much better than I used to be
G, D, C x2
Same chords for second verse
Terrified of telephones
And shopping malls and knives
Drowning in the pools of other lives
Rely a bit too heavily
On alcohol and irony
Get clobbered on
By courtesy
D C Bm A
In love with love and lousy poetry
Chorus
G C
And I'm leaning on this broken fence
Em C
Between past and present tense
G C
And I'm losing all those stupid games
Em C
That I swore I'd never play
Em D G D C G D C
But it almost feels okay
Bm D
Circumnavigate this body
Em D C
Of wonder and uncertainty
Bm D
Armed with every precious failure
Em D C
And amateur cartography
I'm breathing deep before
D C Bm A
I spread those maps out on my bedroom floor
Chorus
G C
And I'm leaning on this broken fence
Em C
Between past and present tense
G C
And I'm losing all those stupid games
Em C
That I swore I'd never play
Em D G D C
But it feels okay And I'm leaving with goodbye
G D C
And I'm losing but I'll try
Em D
With the last ways left
Em D
To remember sing
Em D G
My imperfect offering
