-VERSE-
A~ E7sus4~
Blacking in and out in a strange flat in East London
Gadd9~ D~
Somebody I don't really know just gave me something
A~ E7sus4~ Gadd9~ D~
To help settle me down and to stop me from always thinking about you
A~ E7sus4~
And you know you're life is heading in a questionable direction
Gadd9~ D~
When you're up for days with strangers and you can't remember anything
A~ E7sus4~ Gadd9~ Gadd9. D// Eadd9
Except the way you sounded when you told me you didn't know what I should do
-CHORUS-
E7 D Eadd9
Well, it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 D>Dmaj7>D6 Eadd9
A long way back to the light
E7 D Eadd9
A long road up to recovery from here
E7 D
A long way to making it right
-VERSE-
---
The chords during the verse are played palm-muted and staccato'd,
gradually becoming played open and ringing out normally
---
A E7sus4
And so I wake up in the morning just like every other day
Gadd9 D
And just like every boring blues song I get swallowed by the pain
A E7sus4 Gadd9 D
So I fumble for your figure in the darkness just to make it go away
A E7sus4
But you're not lying there any longer and I know that that's my fault
Gadd9 D
So I've been pounding on the floor and I've been crawling up the walls
A E7sus4 Gadd9 D Eadd9
And I've been dipping in my darkness for serotonin boosters, cider and some kind of smelling salts
-CHORUS-

E7 D Eadd9
Well, it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 D>Dmaj7>D6 Eadd9
A long way back to the light
E7 D Eadd9
A long road up to recovery from here
E7 D
A long way to making it right
-BRIDGE-
[ch]A6add9[/ch] Dsus2 A Em
So on the first night we met, you said well darling lets make a deal
[ch]A6add9[/ch] Dsus2 A Em
If anybody ever asks us, let's just tell them that we met in jail
[ch]A6add9[/ch] Dsus2
And that's the story that I'm sticking to like a stony faced accomplice
A Em
But tonight I need to hear some truth if I'm ever getting through this
[ch]A6add9[/ch] Dsus2
Yeah, you once sent me a letter that said if you're lost at sea
A Em
Close your eyes and catch the tide my dear and only think of me
G D
Well, darling now I'm was sinking I'm as lost as lost can be
Eadd9 > ? > ? > Eadd9
And I was hoping you could drag me up from down here towards my recovery
A E7sus4 Gadd9 D
A E7sus4 Gadd9 D
-VERSE-
A E7sus4
If you could just give me a sign, just a subtle little glimmer
Gadd9 D
Some suggestion that you'd have me if I could only make me better
A E7sus4 Gadd9 D
Then I would stand a little stronger as I walk a little taller all the time
A E7sus4
Because I know you are a cynic but I think I can convince you
Gadd9 D
Yeah, cause broken people can get better if they really want to
A E7sus4 Gadd9 D//// Eadd9
Or at least that's what I have to tell myself if I am hoping to survive
-CHORUS-
E7 D Eadd9
Well, it's a long road up to recovery from here
E7 D>Dmaj7>D6 Eadd9
A long way back to the light
E7 D Eadd9
A long road up to recovery from here
E7 D
A long way to making it right
-OUTRO-
Eadd9
So, darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover
D
Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover
Eadd9
Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover
D Asus2~ (strum this from the bottom up)
Darling, sweet lover, one day this will all be over
