[Verse 1]
[G]Fou[Em]rteen[G] t[Em]oday[G][F#dim]
[Ebdim]and you went dancing[Dm]
[G]Music [Em]mixed with laughter
And boys can [Am]be so insecur[Ebdim]e
They made you drink [C]a bit too much
[D]Everything's a b[C]lur of feel and touch
Did he really [Dm]like [Dsus4]you
How can [Dm]you be [D]sure [G]enough

[Verse 2]
Twenty- three [F#dim]today and all
your friends are getting [F]married
You say they're so scared
of [Em]be ing alone
So self [Ebdim]righteously you march
though teachers col[Em]lege
Still so [D]much [Dsus4]in life you got
[C]ta get to know
Seems like [Dsus4]everybody's so
[C]content [D]to move so slow
And [G]when you think

[Verse 3]
you've got
your life so well controlled
It slips [C]away[Dsus4][D]
And [Am]the years like raindrops [Dsus4]falling
from your [D]life [Bm]are
Washed [Em]away
You're so [G]brilliant, you're so gifted,
so sens[Abdim]itive, so strong
As [Am]you hide behind
your barricade [D]of words
[Dsus4]But no on[C]e g[Dsus4]ot close [C]enough[D]
to [Ebdim]you to ha[D]ve [G]ever heard

[Verse 4]
I met you at [F#dim]a party you were drunk
and full [F]of world advice
And I was getting [Em]nervous
[Ebdim]You said you had [B]a child who
was [Em]a genius [D]and you smiled
As the liv[C]ing room transformed
into your cir[Dsus4]cus[D][G]
Someone whispered you [F#dim]were
thierty- nine today a face so you
[F]Eyes so old
You collapsed into the [Em]corner
Like some[Ebdim]body of raw nerv[B]es
you near seduced [Em]me
With your verbs
[G]As I reached out[C] for you
You said over and [Dm]over[Dsus4][D]

[Verse 5]
Chil[G]dren come home from school
Shout and [C]laugh with all their life
[G]Shut em out fast before you

Turn out [C]all your lights
Go to [Am]bed got to sleep don't

As the [Cm]night time moans a pray[D]er
That [Em]maybe some[C]where deep [D]inside
[G]There's some mea[C]ning ach[Dsus4]ing
[D]to be shared
