[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
