Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C]The[D]re's a drawer in my house that I try[Dm]
To keep closed but it's [C]open
There's a [G]commitment that
I made to [F]be
Somewhere but it's [C]broken
An [F]oblique mantra [Fm]in my head
It [C]lies there
On the floor
[G]Like a bed that would [F]collapse like [Dm]a trap
If it was [C]spoken[Am]
You gotta keep it [G]even, even when
You're uptight
[Am]

[Verse 2]
Even when [A]you're happy
Even when you're reaching for some
[D]Line I've had in mind
It's been [Dm]repressed over time
So I'm [C]breathing
Se[G]duced by an excuse that could
[F]Not be made but I'm [C]speaking

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
There's [D]a phone with a number that
[Dm]I try not to call but it's [C]ringing
[G]For someone I've tried to keep to
[F]Myself but I'm[C] singing
It's [F]logic that's twisted and [Fm]paraphrased
[F]And[C] justified by a dis
[G]tance [F]that separates
[Dm]A bond, bound of per[C]sistence
[Am]

[Verse 4]
You gotta keep it [G]even, even when
You're [Am]uptight
Even when you're [A]happy
Even when you're reaching for
That [D]drawer in my house that [Dm]I try
To keep closed but it's open
