G                               F
There's a heart left sleepless,
             C            G          F     C
by the angry bed frame just up the stairs,
          G                     F
thoughts that knock the skull numb,
        C      G              F   C
of an inamorata extraordinaire,


        G             F
alone in exploration,
      C            G         F    C
inebriated by every inch so new,
        G      F
drunk lovers,

clearly still lovers,
C        G               F
clearly still drunk too


[Chorus]
F
climbing footsteps,
F
and passing laughter...
F
if only echoes amounted,
C             G/B      Am
hold onto the doorframe,
                 C
because these old bones
          F
have seen more than the days

that they've counted...

C G F x2

C              G            F      C
Sounds like a coyote on the roof,
           G                  F      C
the lights flicker off and on again,
      G                  F       C
even after in the silence,
       C    G       F
the turmoil is metropolitan



[Chorus]
F
climbing footsteps,
F
and passing laughter...
F
if only echoes amounted,
C            G/B        Am
hold onto the doorframe,
                C
because these old bones
          F
have seen more than the days

that they've counted...

C           G              F
  Strange how we sometimes envy each other's weaknesses...
