Intro: E D# G F G# F G D
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
