[Intro] Bm A G A [Verse] Bm I wasn't starting yet A I didn't even think you were listening G I wasn't ready at all A To say anything about anything interesting Bm It's a thing you have A You just don't know that you do it G You wait around in a conversation A While I get in and start stumbling through it [Chorus] D I was so distracted then Em I didn't have it straight in my head C I didn't have my face on yet or the role or the feel D Of where I was going with it all D I was suffering more than I let Em On. The tropic morning news was on C There's nothing stopping me now D From saying all the painful parts out loud [Verse] Bm Got to my feet A Feeling that I'd let you down G Wanted to say it slow and perfect A But it all somehow got switched around Bm Something went off on its own A My dumb, automatic chit-chat G It's not what I meant to say at all A There's no way you can attach me to that [Chorus] D Got up to seize the day Em With my head in my hands feeling strange C When all my thinking got mangled D And I caught myself talking myself off the ceiling D I was suffering more than I let Em on, the tropic morning news was on C There's nothing stopping me now D From saying all the painful parts out loud [Post-Chorus] D Em Oh, where are all the moments we'd have? C Oh, where's the brain we shared? D Something somehow has you rapidly improving D Oh, what happened to the Em wavelength we were on? C Oh, where's the gravity gone? D Something somehow has you rapidly improving [Bridge] G D Em C G D Em C G D You found the ache in my argument Em C You couldn't wait to get out of it G D You found the slush in my sentiment Em C You made it sound so intelligent G D You can stop and start an athlete's heart Em C How do I feel about it? G D I would love to have nothing to do with it C I would like to move on and be through with it [Verse] Bm D G A Bm A I'll be over here lying near the ocean Making ocean sounds G Let me know if you can come over A And work the controls for a while [Chorus] D I was so distracted then Em I didn't have it straight in my head C I didn't have my face on yet or the role or the feel D Of where I was going with it all D I was suffering more than I let Em on, The tropic morning news was on C There's nothing stopping me now D From saying all the painful parts out loud [Post-Chorus] D Em Oh, where are all the moments we'd have? C Oh, where's the brain we shared? D Something somehow has you rapidly improving D Em Oh, what happened to the wavelength we were on? C Oh, where's the gravity gone? D Something somehow has you rapidly improving
