Intro : G D Em D

             Em                      G         D
I've been in denial for a while now ;
           G     D
But i'm coming around
          Em                       G         D
I've been blowing in a weird wind ;
              G         D
Wayward as a Greyhound
            Em                          G  D
You took my grief with a grain of salt ;
          Em             G         D
It was difficult, it was all my fault
        Em                      D
A long distance phone call from Philadelphia,
       G                     D            G
I was drunk and i needed to talk
                 A             Em
But once i had your attention,
              D            A
there's so much i meant to mention
Bm                                            D
There's some things that i have come to understand
          G                  D
You were dry land, i was a drowning man
Bm                                            D
They say the safest place is a basement in a storm
                     G                     D
Well darling during downpours, you were my cellar door

( Em D Em D )

         Em          D
Well, i half-assed ;
    G                      D
I gift-wrapped a piece of shit
           Em        D
I was the bearer of bad news ;
      G              D          G
Your worst birthday present
                  D         A
That forlorn uniform you fold,
G        D                   A
and your ice cold eyes rolled

Bm                                             D
There's something things that i have come to understand
           G                 D         A
You were dry land, i was a drowning man
Bm                                            D
They say the safest place is a basement in a storm
                     G                   D           A
Well darling during downpours, i was so self-absorbed
Bm                                                   D
And time will tell if the hand your dealt is worth a damn
                      G                         D        A          G        D
There's no knowing in advance, and the one you held has lost it's grasp

( Em D )
