A Asus2
Blacking in and out in a strange flat in east London.
A* Dsus2
Somebody I don’t really know just gave me something to
A Asus2 A* Dsus2
Help settle me down and to stop me from always thinking about you.
A Asus2 A*
And you know your life is heading in a questionable direction when you’re up for days with strangers
Dsus2
And you can’t remember anything
A Asus2 A* Dsus2
Except the way you sounded when you told me you didn’t know what I should do.
E D E D
It’s a long road up to recovery from here, a long way back to the light.
E D E D
A long road up to recovery from here, a long way to making it right.
A Bm
And I’ve been waking in the morning just like every other day
Dbm D
And just like every boring blues song I get swallowed by the pain
A Bm Dbm D
And so I fumble for your figure in the darkness just to make it go away.
A Bm
But you’re not lying there any longer and I know that that’s my fault
Dbm D
So I’ve been pounding on the floor and I’ve been crawling up the walls
A Bm Dbm D
And I’ve been deepening my darkness with serotonin boosters, cider and some kind of smelling salts.

E D E D
A long road up to recovery from here, a long way to making it right.
F#m D A
And on the first night we met you said “well darling, let’s make a deal.
F#m D A
If anybody ever asks us let’s just tell them that we met in jail.”
F#m D
And that’s the story that I’m sticking to like a stony-faced accomplice
A E
But tonight I need to hear some truth if I’m ever getting through this.
F#m D
Yeah, you once sent me a letter that said “if you’re lost at sea,
A E
Close your eyes and catch a tide, my dear, and only think of me.”
G D
Well darling now I’m sinking I’m as lost as lost can be
E A Bm Dbm D x2
And I was hoping you could drag me out from down here towards my recovery.
A Bm
If you could just give me a sign, yeah just a subtle little glimmer,
Dbm D
Some suggestion that you’d have me if I could only make me better,
A Bm Dbm D
Then I would stand a little stronger as I walk a little taller all the time.
A Bm
Because I know you are a cynic but I think I can convince you
Dbm D
Yeah, ‘cause broken people can get better if they really want to
A Bm Dbm D
Or at least that’s what I have to tell myself if I am hoping to survive.
E D E D
It’s a long road up to recovery from here, a long way back to the light.
E D E D
A long road up to recovery from here, a long way to making it right.
A Asus2
Darling, sweet lover, won’t you help me to recover,
A* Dsus2
Darling, sweet lover, won’t you help me to recover,
A Asus2
Darling, sweet lover, won’t you help me to recover,
D
Darling, sweet lover, one day this will all be over.
