CHORDS W/ LYRICS:
(RIFF)
[Bb]Excuses pour out so easily [Eb]and I've never had a trouble
with the frequency.
[Bb]But it needs a mate to calm me down,
[Eb]postcards and phones calls to a long distance small town.
[Bb]And I've never been good with secrets to keep,
[Eb]but I can lie white, right through my teeth.
[Bb]That current takes us, and we [Eb]breathe it in.
[Bb]Mistakes in old friends to a [Eb]short coming, quick end.
[Bb]An empty-eyed blank stare at an atlas,
[Eb]I'm lost without a map or compass.
[Bb]And I revise [Eb]and I rewrite.
[Bb]I'm drowning in [Eb]long nights, [Bb]late drives with [Eb]old ghosts,
[Eb]I'm an index of footnotes.
[Bb]And I'm sick, sick, sick of my complaining, [Eb]that rhetoric
that I've been writing.
[Bb]That blood red bled from ink to pen, [Eb]I'm blue/black
backwards, I am paper thin.
(RIFF plays softer towards the end)
