Darren Hanlon - Couch Surfing
C#
C#
Well I haven't paid rent in a month or more
Bbm G#
I'm couch surfing
C#
And I don't have a key cause I don't have a door
Bbm G#
I'm couch surfing
F#
I'm not taking calls
I'm between houses
C#
C#
Of my material possessions I've lost track
Bbm G#
I didn't need them
C#
Everything I need fits in my backpack
Bbm G#
I call it freedom
F# Ebm
A pair of jeans some shirts and a guitar lead
F# Ebm
A toothbrush, socks and a paperback reader
C# Bbm F# C# Eb
All the rest is what's hanging off of me
C#
F#
And I'm not answering questions
I'm between houses
C#
C# Bbm G#
Outside the night is cold and stormy
C# Bbm G#
And you blew up the air mattress for me
F# Ebm
We'll talk all night like an open book
F# Ebm
And I'll sleep on every breath you took
C# Bbm F# C# Eb
Before you leave I'll sneak a look up at you
F# G#
C#
But there's an old saying that could bare retelling
Bbm G#
When you're couch surfing:
C#
'the guest should leave before the fish starts smelling'
Bbm G#
When your couch surfing
F# Ebm
It's romantically existential
F# Ebm
To reduce your life to the bare essential
C# Bbm F# C# Eb
All that which is inconsequential guides me
Bbm
F# Ebm
But this whole theory really depends
F# Ebm
On weather or not you've got good friends
F# Ebm
And all this weightlessness the philosopher preach
F# Ebm
Reduces you to societies leach
F# Ebm
But tonight i've landed on my feet
F# Ebm
I'm still one friend away from the bum on the street
F# Ebm
And i've used up all my good will vouchers
F# Ebm
On every single friend with couches
F# Ebm
It won't be long before they'll ask me to leave
F# Ebm
It's time i cut myself some keys
C# Bbm F# C# Eb F# C#
Give me a pen i'll sign a lease and go get me a home
Thats the whole song. HY.
