Recovery

	  		

VERSE: 

A                 E7sus4 
Blacking in and out in a strange flat in East London 
A6                            Dsus2 
Somebody I don't really know just gave me something 
    A                       E7sus4                              A6   Dsus2 
To help settle me down and to stop me from always thinking about you 


         A                               E7sus4 
And you know you're life is heading in a questionable direction 
            A6                                 Dsus2 
When you're up for days with strangers and you can't remember anything 
 A                                  E7sus4                               A6   Dsus2       
Except the way you sounded when you told me you didn't know what I should do 



E             E7               Dsus2              E 
     it's a long road up to recovery from here 
   E7                   Dsus2, A,
A long way back to the light 
E             E7               Dsus2              E 
     it's a long road up to recovery from here 
   E7                   Dsus2, A, 
A long way to making it right 



VERSE:
 

          A                            E7sus4 
And so I wake up in the morning just like every other day 
               A6                            Dsus2 
And just like every boring blues song I get swallowed by the pain 
       A                           E7sus4                      A6 Dsus2 
So I fumble for your figure in the darkness just to make it go away 

                A                         E7sus4 
But you're not lying there any longer and I know that that's my fault 
           A6                                Dsus2 
So I've been pounding on the floor and I've been crawling up the walls 
                  A                        E7sus4                A6                     Dsus2 
And I've been dipping in my darkness for serotonin boosters, cider and some kind of smelling salts 



E             E7               Dsus2              E 
     it's a long road up to recovery from here 
   E7                   Dsus2, A, A 
A long way back to the light 
E             E7               Dsus2              E 
     it's a long road up to recovery from here 
   E7                   Dsus2, A, A 
A long way to making it right 



BRIDGE:

           Fm                               Dsus2                      A 
So on the first night we met, you said well darling let's make a deal 
   Fm                     Dsus2                                     A    
If anybody ever asks us, let's just tell them that we met in jail 

                Fm                              Dsus2 
And that's the story that I'm sticking to like a southern facing compass 
       A                                   E/G#  
But tonight I need to hear some truth if I'm ever getting through this 
           Fm                               Dsus2 
Yeah, you once sent me a letter that said if you're lost at sea 
         A                                 E/G#  
Close your eyes and catch the tide my dear and only think of me 
        G                                  Dsus2 
Well, darling now I'm was sinking I'm as lost as lost can be 
           E                           E7                           A 
And I was hoping you could drag me up from down here towards my recovery 

E7sus4, A6, Dsus2     

VERSE: 

              A                         E7sus4 
If you could just give me a sign, just a subtle little glimmer 
       A6                                     Dsus2 
Some suggestion that you'd have me if I could only make me better 
              A                            E7sus4                      A6     Dsus2 
Then I would stand a little stronger as I walk a little taller all the time 

           A                       E7sus4 
Because I know you are a cynic but I think I can convince you 
             A6                           Dsus2 
Yeah, cause broken people can get better if they really want to 
       A                           E7sus4                   A6     Dsus2 
Or at least that's what I have to tell myself if I am hoping to survive 



E             E7               Dsus2              E 
     it's a long road up to recovery from here 
   E7                   Dsus2, A, A 
A long way back to the light 
E             E7               Dsus2              E 
     it's a long road up to recovery from here 
   E7                   Dsus2, A, A 
A long way to making it right
