_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
You're not unlucky, [C] you're just not very smart
[G] These things will never leave you, [D] they're as close as you can get
[Em] To a blueprint for the [C] future, but you can [G] call it fate
[D] _ _ _ [Em] It's like these days I have to write [C] down almost every thought I've held
[G] So scared I am becoming [D] of forgetting how it felt
[Em] And these fears they will unravel [C] me one day, but still I [G] am afraid
_ [D] But _ _ _ [Em] I'm blessed [C] _ _ _ [G] just to be [D] more or less
_ _ [Em] Standing in the [C] afterglow rapture with the words the [G] rapture left
_ [D] _ _ _ [Em] Oh _ blessed [C] _ _ _ [G] just to be [D] more or less
_ [Em] Standing in the [C] afterglow rapture with the words [G] the rapture left
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Oh now you're blessed amongst all women [C] now a man who's very good
[G] He tells you how you feel [D] until your life is understood
[Em] And he leads you through it arm [C] in arm as though there was a map to [G] guide the way
_ [D] And _ [Em] now you write because you love [C] him, now you write because he's kind
[G] You write so much you look [D] up and you wrote yourself behind
[Em] And you're standing in a [C] labyrinth of paper when the map has [G] been erased
_ [D] _ _ _ [Em] But you're _ blessed [Am] _ [C] _ _ [G] just to be [D] more or less
_ [Em] Standing in the [C] afterglow rapture with the words [G] the rapture left
_ [D] _ _ _ [Em] Are you _ blessed [C] _ _ _ [G] just to be [D] more or less
[Em] Now you're standing in the [C] afterglow rapture but there is no [G] rapture left
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
We don't [D] need _ you
[Em] _
We _ _ _ _ _ [G] don't need [D] _ you
[Em] Oh come and we will [C] celebrate the things that make us real
[G] The things that break us [D] open and the things that make us feel
[Em] Like these accidental [C] meetings of the markings of the way
[G] Are not so much our choice [D] but in the blood of how we're made
[Em] It's like the way I have to write [C] down almost everything I see
[G] So that the record doesn't scare [D] the thing the record used to be
[Em] And I know I'm not unlucky, [C] I was just [G] born this _ _ [D] way
_ _ [Em] But I'm blessed
_ _ [Am] _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] And _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] a _ _ [Em] paper forest grows up in [C] a single pocket [G] loss
The baby boy went deep [D] inside its mother and it smiles
[Em] and we all fall down and swim [C] close to the_ Paper [G] Forest
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Em] And a paper forest grows [C] up in the supermarket aisles
[G] The baby boy went deep [D] inside its mother and it smiles
[Em] and we all fall down and swim [C] close to the_ Paper [G] Forest
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Em] And a paper [Bm] forest grows [C] up in the supermarket [G] aisles
So long thought fingers turn, [D] they're counting seconds like they're miles
[Em] And you say, wake up [C] now, cause I can see no paper [G] forest
