Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 No I'm not sayin I'm lazy, I just, take more time to digress.

And of more than three ways I empty my days, now that you're not around to impress.

And of more than three ways I empty my days, now that you're not around to impress.

 Those forming, morning birds.

 They don't do things by thirds.

And your voice sounds just like it's reading, from a birthday telegram.

It says you're looking a little older, I say that's funny because I am.

Last year escaped by the window, and this year's going for a song.

And the church bells they're plagiarizing, merrily we roll along.

 No we weren't together forever, but then what the hell does that mean?

One persons lifetime the history of mankind, or the years since I turned seventeen?

One persons lifetime the history of mankind, or the years since you turned seventeen?

Yeah I was light headed unfettered not falsely, claimed to know the dimensions of love.

I was prone to wild exaggeration, sayin things I had no concept of.

Maybe love takes the form of a mountain, with no choice but forever to linger.

Or maybe love lives in a soap bubble, at the mercy of a childs finger.

But each one comes with a little rainbow, designed to hypnotize us.

And I wouldn't trade one heart-broken minute, for a years worth of dull happiness.

So I built myself another lifetime, oh how quick did the calendar grow?

And right now I'm seven years wiser, than I was twenty-five years ago.

 I stop to play with this cat on the footpath, and he's cleaning his head

 with his paw.

And I know that you're gone so I'm moving on, still I know that you're worth mourning for.

And I'm feeling just fine but I'm taking my time, cause I know that you're worth mourning for.

Tabbed for Emma. I'm feeling just fine babe but I know that you're worth mourning for xoxo.
