[Intro 1]
[D][A][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]We ear- marked our August va
[A]cation as a fine [G]place to fall [D]apart
And we heard that a trial sepera[A]tion
was a quaint [G]idea for [D]a new start
Then the city approached like a ban[A]dit my
[G]hands shook as they gripped [D]the wheel
As if I'd always known theres [A]no place like home
to show [G]you the way that you [D]feel

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][G][D]

[Verse 2]
[D]A rainy afternoon in your bed[A]room
[G]clothes in two piles [D]on the floor
One is labelled old cou[A]ture the [G]other's
marked arms [D]for the poor
I'm just loitering trying [A]to look helpful
you offer [G]two corners [D]of the sheet
We fold over and over and [A]over again and
[G]then in the middle we'll meet

[Interlude 2]
[D][A][G][D]

[Verse 3]
Now [D]some days I feel like an [A]en gagement
ring rest[G]ing on the ocean [D]floor
Yet others just like that same [A]Glen Campbell
record found [G]in every second [D]hand store
Now right now I'm watching a [A]drummer
haul [G]his drums into [D]a bar
And deep down I'm secretly [A]happy
that [G]I play the harmon[D]ica

[Verse 4]
No, [Bm]I'm not saying I'm l[G]azy I just
[Bm]take more time to di[A]gress
And I've [D]more than three ways I [A]empty my days
now that [G]you're not around to im[D]press
(I've more than three ways I [A]empty my days
now that [G]you're not around [D]to impress)

[Verse 5]
Those [G]forming [D]morning [A]birds
They [G]dont do things by thirds
[A]

[Verse 6]
And your [D]voice sounds just like it's
[A]reading from a [G]birthday tele[D]gram
It says "You're looking a little older[A]" and
I say [G]"That's funny because [D]I am"
Last year escaped by the [A]window and this
[G]year's going for [D]a song
And the church bells [A]they're
[G]plagarising 'merily we rol[D]l along'

[Verse 7]
No, [Bm]we weren't together fo[G]rever but
then [Bm]what the hell does that [A]mean?
One [D]persons lifetime,
the history [A]of mankind or the years [G]since I turned seven[D]teen?
(One persons lifetime,
the history [A]of mankind or the years [G]since you [D]turned seventeen)
Yeah, I was light- headed,
unfettered and I [A]falsely claimed to [G]know the dimensions [D]of love
I was prone [A]to wild exageration saying
thing[G]s I had no concept o[D]f

[Verse 8]
Maybe love [D]takes the form of a [A]mountain
with no [G]choice but forever [D]to linger
Maybe love lives in a soap [A]bubble
at the mer[G]cy of a child's fin[D]ger
[Bm]But each with a [G]little rainbow
[Bm]designed to hypnotise [A]us
And [D]I wouldn't trade one [A]heartbroken minute for a years [G]worth of
dull happi[D]ness

[Interlude 3]
[G][D][A][G][A]
[D][A][G][D][A][G][D]
[A][G][D][A][G][D]

[Verse 9]
So I [D]built myself another [A]lifetime oh how
[G]quick did the calender [D]grow
And right now im seven years [A]wiser than I
[G]was twenty five years [D]ago
I stopped to [Bm]play with this cat on the foot[G]path
and he's clean[Bm]ing his head with his [A]paw
And I [D]know that you're gone so [A]I'm moving on still
[G]I know that you're worth mourning [D]for[G]
Now I'm [D]feeling just fine but I'm [A]taking my time
'cause I [G]know that you're worth mourning for
