Sydney 2013

E A B A

[Verse 1]
               E
Shaking on the plane
            A
Mercy in my headphones
                   B
I guess that I was scared
             A
But I had a six-month window
                E
Liz was in the car
                A
Waiting at the airport
         B
I was unprepared
           A
To say goodbye

[Chorus]
B                      E       A
Life got heavy, I got carried away
B                      E       A
I was in the middle of a summer of pain
B
Didn't know the feeling
      E          A       B
But I wanted to stay in love

[Verse 2]
                E
Matthew had the coke
               A
Billy had the friends out
                B
Britney had the sweet, sweet smile
                    A
That I could get my head 'round
                 E
Frankie's in the night
              A
Pizza by the deep black water
              B
Bodies on the beach cooking like a peach
              A
Either in my head either out of reach


[Chorus]
B                      E       A
Life got heavy, I got carried away
B                      E       A
Ran out of the pills, I was staying awake
B
Didn't know the feeling
       E          A       B
But I wanted to break the ties


[Bridge]
           A                             B
Maybe in a way I push my feelings right down
                E                         C#m  B
Looking for an easy fix to black them all out
                 A                            B
Maybe there was grace in all the ways I fell down
               E                             C#m
So I could be face to face with where I was found


[Chorus]
                          E       A
Hey, no worries, couldn't do it again
B                  E         A
One too many and I cannot pretend
B                       E         A      B
Found me a lover when I needed to find a friend

[Outro]
                  E
When Liz is in the car
               A
Smiling at the airport
                   E    B
She says I've come far
E        A
Lots has happened
                  E
I guess it really shows
                A
How slowly we surrender
                    B
I let God and I let go
                       A
When I'm in Sydney, I remember
