     F 
When gravity's a palm pushing down on your head 
         Bb                    C 
Like the devil's got a paw dug in your shoulder 
        F                           Bb  C 
And the other one is rubbing your back 
        F 
But the kitchen in this new place has a window 
      Bb                        C 
Yeah, you can grow basil on the sill 
              F                            Bb  G# 
Maybe you can call your neighbors by name now 

F 
Berries on the dash is the sweetest kind of living 
       Bb                         C 
Still, this feels like eating the meat of the mountain 
     F 
It's all grit and gristle, I can't chew and swallow 
    Bb                  C 
I'm gnawing my way back home 
    F 
The clouds look a lot like wool gone through the wash 
  Bb                     C 
I check my phone for the time but I still wear my watch 
F                                           Bb                C 
  I'm confused about how I'm supposed to connect to anything now

    F 
The kind of high I like is when I barely make the train 
        Bb                       C 
And the people with a seat smile big at me 
             F 
Because they know the feeling 
          Bb      C 
And for a millisecond 
   F 
We share a look like a family does 
             Bb                          C 
Like we have inside jokes, like we could call each other 
F                Bb  C 
By little nicknames 
    F 
And I could tell the story of how my great 
     Bb                  C 
Grandmother's sister was deemed a saint 
           F 
How they exhumed her body after years of being buried 
         Bb                       C 
And they found she hadn't even begun to sully 
        F 
So they moved her again 
                 Bb       C 
Straight into the Vatican

I think of all the billions of eyes 
    Bb                   C 
All looking at something different at the same time 
    F            Bb   G# 
And I feel nauseous 
          F                                Bb  C 
Some days I can only see into my suitcase 
         F 
It's got everything I need plus some superstitious 
Bb           C 
Things I may also need 
F 
"Music soothes the savage beast" 
    Bb            C 
the pilot says to me and he asks me to sing 
F                       Bb  C 
  But now is not the time 
  F 
I just want to fall into a pile of warm laundry 
  Bb                C        F      Bb     C 
I just want to keep very very quiet, yeah

     F                                        Bb  G# 
It's June where you sleep, July where I land 
          F                                   Bb  C 
Thought I saw you on a platform in Amsterdam 
      F 
And I nearly missed my train 
      Bb                     C 
And I felt so defeated til I jumped on to 
F                                Bb  C 
See all the warm smiles were for me 

F 
I made my train and it made me so happy 
  Bb                   C 
I made my train and it made me forget everything 
   F 
It made me forget, made me forget 
Bb                  C 
Made me forget, it made me forget everything 
   F 
It made me forget, made me forget 
Bb               C                    F 
Made me forget, made me forget everything
