Persimmon

D#                        F 
   Said you don't like persimmon 
                      A# 
But the shade is quite nice 
A#7                  Gm 
    Use your colorful language 
                D# 
As a shy way to slight 
                   F 
So I dress in this orange 
                    A# 
But it doesn't look right 
A#7                       Gm 
    Now the lake's frozen over 


                      D#maj7 
I've got more room to glide 
    F       A# 
And I slept in til eleven 
Gm7                    D#maj7 
    With the dog on my side 
    F       A#  A#7          Gm7 
And my foot dangling off the mattress 


          D#maj7 
I woke up numb 
   F 
In more ways than one 
     A#             A#7 
It's more than a sensation 
 Gm7                  D#    F 
I see it in all faces now, now 


D#maj7                      F 
  It's enough, it's substantial 
                      A# 
I've survived on much less 
A#7                     Gm7 
    What's a flame to a candle 
                      D#maj7 
When you're melting regardlеss? 
                           F 
So fuck that bitch in your story 
                    A# 
And fuck me after I guess 
A#7                       Gm7 
    I took hеr arm in the lobby 


                 D#maj7 
And I made a new friend 
F           A#        A#7 
Then talked shit til eleven 
Gm7                    D#maj7 
    It's a means to an end 
  F 
A road to a bend 
  A#       A#7        Gm7 
A woefully natural progression 


          D#maj7 
I woke up numb 
   F 
In more ways than one 
     A#             A#7 
It's more than a sensation 
 Gm7                  D#    F 
I see it in all faces now, now 


         D#       F 
Is it so wrong of me? 
       A#          A#7  Gm 
Legend has it, I'm sentimental 
         D#       F 
I hold a strong belief in 
A#           A#7   Gm 
All things inconsequential 
            D#       F 
Just like a highway fire 
           A#       A#7       Gm 
I'm taking it as a sign, as a sign 
                D#    F 
I gotta turn around, around 

Final:

D#                        F 
   Said you don't like persimmon 
                      A# 
They take too long to grow 
A#7                       Gm7 
    If you practice your patience 
                     Eb 
Maybe one day you'll know 
                    F 
Why I dress in this orange 
                  A# 
Why I'm taking it slow 
A#         A#7          Gm7 
   Now the lakes frozen over
