A Way With Words

1/8/2017

Verse: Em G D A slide to G
Chorus: E G A B // end on A

we used to have a way with words
now we don’t say too much
we used to unwrap like verbs
now we just tap to touch
we used to have things to do
now we got screens illuminating
we used to attach like glue
now the connection’s isolating

what’s the hold up, girl?
you got something to say?
you got a way with words
and they had their way with me

we used to just rise and shine
now we just duck and cover
we used to breathe words like wine
now we delete each other

A Crack in the Paint

(Capo 2 shapes/root notes for fingerpicking)
Verse: G D C B F# G
Chorus: hold please :)

you’d leave your laundry in the dryer
i’d leave your dinner in the fridge
stopped leaving love notes on the mirror
we both let it come to this

a crack in the paint became a hole in the wall
love was here, now it ain’t
like we imagined it all
and my only complaint is we both watched it crawl
from a crack in the paint to a hole in the wall

our letters both came to the same place
even the mailman knew our names
so many years in the same space
and now all it is, is a time frame

And I Cry

Verse/Chorus: F C

it’s a tidal wave of emotion
overcoming me
the last stage is set to motion
i have set myself to sea

and i cry
and i cry
and i cry

it’s a terrible disaster
a ship without a master
a frightening ending
an uncertain beginning

thank god there were no children
but there was quite a record collection
how to divide beautiful music
that once was our possession

Verse: A Dm
Chorus: C G Dm A
Bridge: Dm G F A // Dm G F G

i err on the side of unhappy
if you wonder why just ask me
i wipe on my emotion on my sleeve
i got it from my grandpa’s genes
i worry about everything
i wonder will the worry ever leave

i want to know what makes some people
smile all day, what makes them smile all damn day?
i want to drink from their half-full glass
i want to say the things they say

like i’m so happy, i’m so lucky
i like rainbows, i like puppies
is there a deep thought in your brain?
my mind is so overtaken by darkness and mistakes
and i wonder if happiness equals plain

i know negativity has everything to do with me
has everything to do with me
it’s part of my identity, can’t wipe it off can’t shake it free
but will you still intrigue me?
