Em Bm Bm 2x Em D Bm Em Bm Yesterday I spent asleep Em Em7 Woke up in my clothes in a dirty heap Em Bm Spent the night trying to make a deadline Em Squeezing complicated lives into a simple headline Em Bm I have your face here in an old Polaroid Em Em7 Tidying the children's clothes and toys Em Bm You're smiling back at me, I took the photo from the fridge Em Em7 Can't remember what then we did Em Bm I haven't been with a woman, it feels like for years Em Em7 Thought of you the whole time, your salty tears Em Bm This shitty world sometimes produces a rose Em Em7 Em The scent of it lingers and then it just goes Em Em7 Em Bm Return the call to home Em Em7 Em Bm 2x Em7 Bm The worst of us are a long drawn out confession Em Em7 The best of us are geniuses of compression Bm You say you're not going to leave the truth alone Em Em7 I'm here cos I don't want to go home Em Bm Child drinking dirty water from the river bank Em Em7 Soldier brings oranges he got out from a tank Em Bm I'm waiting on the waiter, he's taking a while to come Em7 Watching the sun go down on Lebanon Em Em7 Em Bm Return the call to home Em Em7 Em Bm 2x D Bm Now I've got a head like a lit cigarette Em Em7 Unholy clouds reflecting in a minaret D Bm You're so high above me, higher than everyone Em7 Where are you in the Cedars of Lebanon? Em Em7 Em Em7 D Bm Choose your enemies carefully cos they will define you Em Make them interesting cos in some ways they will mind you D Bm They're not there in the beginning but when your story ends Em Gonna last with you longer than your friend
