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 )
