[Intro]
G Am  x4
 
 
[Verse 1]
G           Am
  I wake up feeling nothing
G                Am
  camouflage the wavering sky
G          Am       G
  I sit at my piano wander
    Am           G
the wild whereby And the
       Am
lilacs drink the water
G                Am
  and the lilacs die
G                Am
  And the lilacs drink
         G             Am
the water marking the slow
      G              Am   G C G C G C
slow slow passing of time
 
 
[Verse 2]
G          Am        G
  I get so angry baby at
          Am
something you might say
G                  Am
  I dream about an awful
        G            Am
stranger work my way through
       G                Am
the day I run it like a silent
     G                Am
movie I run it like a violent
    G                Am
song I run it like a voice
          G
compelling so right
   Am
it can't be wrong
 
 
[Chorus 1]
Em         Am
  If I'm a broken record
C               G
write it in the dust babe
Em            Am
  I'll fill myself back up
     C         G Em
like I used to do  And if
   Am
my bones are made of
C        G    Em
delicate sugar  I won't
    Am
end up anywhere
C            G  Em Am C G Em Am C G
good without you

[Verse 3]
G                Am
  When I live a sparse existence
G                Am
  I'll drop down in the fold
G               Am
  Lean in to an urgent falter
G              Am        G
  spin silence into gold I run
            Am
it like the crop of kismet
G                 Am
  I run it like a dilettante
G                   Am
  I run it like I'm happy baby
G                 Am
  like I got everything I want
 
 
[Chorus 2]
Em         Am
  If I'm a broken record
C               G
write it in the dust babe
Em            Am
  I'll fill myself back up
     C         G Em
like I used to do  And if
   Am
my bones are made of
C        G    Em
delicate sugar  I won't
    Am
end up anywhere
C            G
good without you
Em
  I won't end
Am
up anywhere
C            G  Em Am C G Em Am C G
good without you
Am                 G  C G C G C G C
  I need your love too
