Tuned down half step to Eb
Intro: G, D , C x2
G
Measure me in metered lines
And one decisive stare
D CThe time it takes to get from here to there
GMy ribs that show through t-shirts
And these shoes I got for free
DI'm unconsoled
CI'm lonely, I am
So much better than I used to be
G, D, C x2
Same chords for second verse
Terrified of telephones
And shopping malls and knives
Drowning in the pools of other lives
Rely a bit too heavily
On alcohol and irony
Get clobbered on
By courtesy
D C Bm AIn love with love and lousy poetry
Chorus
G C
And I'm leaning on this broken fence
Em C
Between past and present tense
And I'm losing all those stupid games
Em CThat I swore I'd never play
Em D G D C G D CBut it almost feels okay
Bm D
Circumnavigate this body
Of wonder and uncertainty
Bm DArmed with every precious failure
Em D CAnd amateur cartography
I'm breathing deep before
D C Bm AI spread those maps out on my bedroom floor
Chorus
G C
And I'm leaning on this broken fence
Em C
Between past and present tense
And I'm losing all those stupid games
Em CThat I swore I'd never play
Em D G D CBut it feels okay And I'm leaving with goodbye
And I'm losing but I'll try
Em DWith the last ways left
Em DTo remember sing
My imperfect offering
