C Gm
Forced convalescence and bed rest
F
Staring contest
Fm C
With the ceiling and my feet
C Gm
Was momentarily conscious
F
Of the backflips
Fm Dm
I've been doing in my sleep
Dm G
I’m not afraid of the future
Em7 Gm
Have to suffer and repeat
C F
I tend to agree
Fm
What happens will be
Em7 A7
Pain of my own making
Dm G C
Cut short by eternity
C Gm
Now I've recovered completely
F
Life is easy
Fm C
Hula-hooping around the sun
C Gm
The calendar's little boxes
F
All these presents
Fm Dm
Get to open every one
Dm G
I’ll be prepared for the winter
Em7
And the summer
Gm
And beyond
C F
Just keep tagging along
Fm
Until the feeling is gone
Em7 A7
Amazed by the haystack
Dm G C
Needle to oblivion
[Chorus]
C Gm
In a daze
F
In the doorway
Fm C
I stood crying for what was
C Gm
In a trance
F
In a taxi
Fm Dm
Just keep driving please don't stop
Dm Em F
Out of the neighborhood, the multiverse
G Ab
Iron and rust
[Solo]
Ab Fm C Em
Ab Fm C G
Dm Em F G
[Verse]
C Gm
Went out of town for the weekend
F
With my children
Fm C
Built sandcastles in the sun
C Gm
Catastrophizing my birthday
F
Turning forty
Fm
Ending up like everyone
Dm G
There's no escaping the housework
Em7
Or the bank clerk
Gm
Or the priest
C F
They're waiting for me
Fm
In my Egyptian sheets
Em7 A7
The Seroquel's working
Dm G C
It's fighting my fantasies
[Chorus]
C Gm
In the dark
F
At a distance
Fm C
I see everything at once
C Gm
Feel the wind
F
Through the window
Fm Dm
And I'm overcome with love
Dm Em F
Inter-dimensional, no obstacles
G Ab
Mountains and dust
