– verse –

B7sus4 E9sus4

blacking in and out in a strange flat in east london

A6 Dsus2

somebody i don’t really know just gave me something

B7sus4 E9sus4 A6 Dsus2

to help settle me down and to stop me from always thinking about you

B7sus4 E9sus4

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

B7sus4 E9sus4 A6 Dsus2

except the way you sounded when you told me you didn’t know what i should do

– chorus –

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

– verse –

B7sus4 E9sus4

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

B7sus4 E9sus4 A6 Dsus2

so i fumble for your figure in the darkness just to make it go away

B7sus4 E9sus4

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

B7sus4 E9sus4 A6 Dsus2

and i’ve been dipping in my darkness for serotonin boosters , cider and some kind of smelling salts

– chorus –

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

[ ch ] A6add9 [ /Ch ] Dsus2 B7sus4 Amaj9

so on the first night we met , you said well darling let’s make a deal

[ ch ] A6add9 [ /Ch ] Dsus2 B7sus4 Amaj9

if anybody ever asks us , let’s just tell them that we met in jail

[ ch ] A6add9 [ /Ch ] Dsus2

and that’s the story that i’m sticking to like a southern facing compass

B7sus4 Amaj9

but tonight i need to hear some truth if i’m ever getting through this

[ ch ] A6add9 [ /Ch ] Dsus2

yeah , you once sent me a letter that said if you’re lost at sea

B7sus4 Amaj9

close your eyes and catch the tide my dear and only think of me

G D/F#

well , darling now i’m was sinking i’m as lost as lost can be

E E7 B7sus4 ,

and i was hoping you could drag me up from down here towards my recovery

E9sus4 , A6 , Dsus2

– verse –

B7sus4 E9sus4

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

B7sus4 E9sus4 A6 Dsus2

then i would stand a little stronger as i walk a little taller all the time

B7sus4 E9sus4

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

B7sus4 E9sus4 A6 Dsus2

or at least that’s what i have to tell myself if i Am hoping to survive

– chorus –

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
