Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

We're caught in a landslide

The minutes come tumbling down

 And into an hour's time

Within which a day's worth of work

Must be planned out and pan out

For every week to be worth

The weekends of downtime

And months of ennui that kills

 And years of resentment

Of everyone's contentment, and you

 Can't justify it, still

Repeat chord progression x2

Verse 2

Same chords

I tell you my reasons

You don't tell me your inside jokes

Until I've gone bitter on

Every word that you've spoken

And all of your kind words

Amounting to naught but a token

And all their inaction

Will tumble away with the days

And nights of together

As we're really not together at all

But parallel

Verse 3

Same again

Now I'm walking on downtown

In a town that is not my home

And shopping for breakfast

To be eaten all alone

And dreaming of houses

None of them that I own

But that's not my province

That's not for what I am known

So I gather around me

All the little pieces of a song

And fit them where they belong

Verse 4

Yep, same again

So go to your downtown

And bring what you've brought back home

And you never should worry

Your hours will now be as long

As the days that you hurried

And months when it all seemed wrong

And all of the action

Will tumble away with the years

And parallel evenings

And parallel tracks of our tears

And nights of together are where?

Play second progression again, and repeat until the end

So I gather around me

All the little pieces of a song

And fit them where they belong

Easy.
