Start Jamming...
[F] I count to three and [E] grin, smile and let me [F#] in.
We sit and watch [A] the wall, he painted purple.
He tools spill [E] on his face, a little cups [F#] of grace.
Maz's [D] rattle on, by the way that [F#] you bite that snow [G#m] fence,
great [A] blood, the battle of [D] those hearts.
[A] This you always [G#m] end up pressing your [A] tongue to.
[F#m] How your body [G#m] still remembers [A] things you told it [D] to forget.
[F#m] How those furious [G#m] affections [A] followed you.
[D]
[E] I've got this store by the way, saying I'm [F#] okay.
And you've learned how [A] to cry in total silence.
You're talented [E] and bright, you're lonely and [F#m] uptight.
[F#] You found some [D] lovely things to disappoint.
[F#m] The airport's [G#m] always almost [A] empty this time [D] of the year.
[F#m] So let's go play [G#m] on a baggage [A] carousel.
[F#] Set our [G#m] watches forward [A] like we're just [D] arriving here.
[F#m] From a past we [E] left in a place we [A] knew too well.
Knew [D] too well, knew [A] too well.
[D]
[A] Hold on to [E] the corners of today.
[F#] I won't fault them off to save until [D] it's needed.
[A] Stand still, [E] let me scrub that back-ish line.
[F#] You got wet, something rose, [D] literacy [B] did.
