Commute Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]When I fel[G]l down the stairs
It [B]wasn't the stairs that killed me
It [C]was the [D]landing
[G]My head hit the floor
My [B]son knew the score
And [C]had it [D]for the [G]roof
Blood flows downhill
[D]I'll go uphill
[E]There's no need [D]to be red -handed
[G]I'm not worried
[D]My fear of heights [E]left me
when [D]I left my body
When [G]I fell off the tracks
It [B]wasn't the tracks that killed me
It [C]was the [D]Queen's bow [G]-nail
My body met the train
My [B]mind left my brain
And [C]headed toward[D]s Smith [G]and I
The train went uptown,
[D]I went downtown
[Em]Evening news [D]runs blurry
Photo, [G]I'm not worried
[D]My vanity [E]left me when [D]I left my body
A [G]night's sleep on the steps,
at [B]66 and Lex,
it's [C]been a [D]slow, slow [G]fall,
there's countless ways to go,
[B]while on my way home,
it's [C]been a [D]long commute,
[G]blood flows uptown,
blood [D]flows downtown,
pick [E]a path and God b[D]e with you
ban[G]ish these thoughts [D]to a notebook,
let [E]them go and [D]let myself go too
