Verse: C F G C Chorus: C F Dm G C F G C Bridge: C Dm G C sometimes you gotta let go of the good to make a little room for a little great sometimes you gotta do what you know you should let the hope just suffocate when the hope stops breathing maybe i’ll stop believing in a love that won’t come to pass when the hope starts dying maybe i’ll stop trying to turn fiction into fact i always seem to choose metaphor over reality but just this once i will refuse and say i loved you quite literally there was peace outside your window tonight but i drew the shade babe, and stayed so the hope stays alive and i try with all my might to get you to come outside with me and play

you got your tools spread out on the table you’re hoping that you’re able to fix every single problem you get your hands on but you’re tearing out your hair you’re frustrated and scared the woman that you love is up and gone but you can’t fix a broken heart your hammer and nails will only tear it apart oh, handy man of mine you can’t fix me this time you got your sewing machine ready your hands are nice and steady you want to sew me back up like a quilt but my legs start to shaking, my body starts aching i can’t lay under here with all this guilt you can’t mend a broken heart your needles and pins will only tear me apart oh, handy man of mine you can’t fix me this time no glue is gonna hold me no clay is gonna mold me into the happy lady you deserve no wrench is gonna bind me no drill is gonna rewind me i’ve gotta find me first you can’t mend a broken heart wish i would have told you from the very start oh, handy man of mine you can’t fix me this time Verse: Am F E Chorus: Dm C G Bridge: F G F G F G F E7 our bed is just a queen but lately there’s miles between us i keep waiting on a change of scene i keep waiting for something to bring us back to what we had back to where we were back before the sad back to the happy we both deserve my faith wavers cause who’s gonna save us? i keep waiting on judgement day i get on my knees and pray that we go it’s never gonna be perfect but forever was not a mistake so if we both think it’s worth it what’s it gonna take to go… the day is done and so am i (so am i) i may not have won, but i gave it a try (gave it a try) tomorrow the sun will shine, and i’ll shine too (i’ll shine too) tomorrow i’ll quit crying over you (over you) soon the birds will sing, and i’ll sing along all day soon this silly little thing is gonna fade away it’s gonna fade away it’s gonna fade away gonna fade away Verse: root C F E C Chorus: root Am B C (end on G) my mom, my dad made sure i had the things they never did they worked so hard, they just ignored everything but their kid years went by, i never noticed years went by, i couldn’t see the only thing holding them together was me in the house of leaves in the house of leaves my dad, my mom they tried so long to make it seem okay when something hurts, it just won’t work, it’s hard to live that way years went by, they finally noticed years went by, they finally caught on the only thing holding them together was gone in the house of leaves in the house of someone always leaves you’re being a bee, you’re buzzing around
trying to stick your stinger in the lost and found but i just keep sticking to swatting you down cause i hate your sting more than i like your honey you’re seeing the sea down to the ocean floor blowing through it like an open door i never saw the sea before i think it’s dull and not that stunning maybe if it was a bigger deal to me then i could see what everybody sees maybe if i ever got that feeling i’d have better things to do than just lay here staring at the ceiling i’m playing a part, there’s a role i carry i’m trying to be the virgin mary but no one wants to sleep with her it’s too scary she said “come on joseph, the whole world needs us” and i wonder about joseph’s mindset did he ever look to his wife with regret and say “god damn, mary, my needs aren’t met? my life would be better if it weren’t for jesus” maybe if it was a bigger deal to me then i could see what everybody sees maybe if i ever put down my bible i’d be better prepared for a bedroom revival lay me down, straighten me out, i want to shout hallelujah |
