Verse 
E                              A                    E 
Temperamental tools don’t disappoint me as I look ahead, 
                      A                      E 
 a 5:30 skyline and a sinking sense of dread, 
                             A 
 this bridge has become more symbolic in my dreams, 
    E                       A 
 my apocalyptic imagination guides me to the scene, 
         E                A 
 and I’m not as lost as I hoped I’d be, 
     E                                A 
 an unconscious sense of direction is guiding me, 
            E                      A 
 but it’s clear that I’m here for a very different reason, 
     E                             A 
 I refused to queue up, yet they parade their expertise and I’m sold. 

C#m           A              E 
 Last night I woke up terrified, 
                  G#                 C#m 
 blue lights were floating around my walls, 
         A         E                           G#               C#m 
 only to later realise, it’s just an ambulance on a late night call, 
        A          E          G#          C#m 
 a grim 2 a.m. reminder of my own mortality,   
        A                E              G#             A 
I only wish that I could find a way to accurately describe, 
      B 
 the effect that this has on me. 

Verse 
 E A E A 
   E                            A 
 A canopy of comfort crumbles, helplessly I watch, 
     E                                  A 
 I'm soaked but I’m not drowning, I’m enamoured to this porch, 
      E                           A 
 your company is warmth enough we talk the night away, 
   E                                 A 
 a towel and some kind words keeping me afloat today, 
          E                      A 
 and when I’m like this I can’t cope with myself, 
       E                    A 
 and I realise that this is probably hell, 
       E             A 
 and I apologise, oh how I do, 
          E                                A                      C#m 
 I’m just thankful that you’re prepared to soldier through to the end.

 Last night I woke up terrified, 
                  G#                 C#m 
 blue lights were floating around my walls, 
         A         E                           G#               C#m 
 only to later realise, it’s just an ambulance on a late night call, 
        A          E          G#          C#m 
 a grim 2 a.m. reminder of my own mortality,   
        A                E              G#             A

          E                B 
 I take a walk down by the river, 
         C#m             A 
 but the night before it breached its banks, 
             E                 B                          C#m 
 and now the path’s absolutely covered with branches and leaves, 
           A                          E 
 and I can barely get past and I’m in heaven, 
        B                   C#m               A 
 I’m in heaven, this is the best thing I have ever seen, 
          E                B 
 I see no concrete, see no buildings, 
               C#m               A 
 it’s like I’m walking through a dream, 
          E                  B          C#m          A 
 Like the darkness of closed eyes on an August afternoon x4
