A-riff
Shed the days like skin, pray for evenings in
                                                         D-riff
Hold their hands in the street when you walk them off to school
A-riff
A box too full to shut, cardboard paper cut
                                                          D-riff
Bleeding edge of a picture of your parents when they were cool

E           F#m       D      A
 So much to say, I forget to start
E             F#m  D            A
 There goes a day, fading as it passes
E           F#m          D     A
 Forget the grey, let it fall apart
Bm         D
 It's okay
              A-riff
I like you in glasses


Shovels in the sand, a play-doh wedding band
A drowning princess in a tangle of towels on the floor
An old familiar ache, the little pills we take
The thoughtless kindness of a coffee cup waiting by the door

So much to say, I forget to start
There goes a day, fading as it passes
Forget the grey, let it fall apart
It's okay

(bridge: same as intro, hold the D when it goes to the verse)

It's on the board, someone's been double-booking

I've got time,  how is your next week looking?

House shifts into place, a little breathing space
The radiators and the floorboards will argue while we sleep
There's water in the walls, the stairs make waterfalls
Down in the basement the soft sound of a river digging deep

So much to say, I forget to start
There goes a day, fading as it passes
Forget the grey, let it fall apart

So much to say, I forget to start
There goes a day, fading as it passes
Forget the grey, let it fall apart
It's okay
I like you in glasses
