[Verse]
E                              A                    E
Temperamental tools don’t disappoint me as I look ahead,
                      A                      E
 a 5:30 skyline and a sinking sense of dread,
                             A
 this bridge has become more symbolic in my dreams,
    E                       A
 my apocalyptic imagination guides me to the scene,
         E                A
 and I’m not as lost as I hoped I’d be,
     E                                A
 an unconscious sense of direction is guiding me,
            E                      A
 but it’s clear that I’m here for a very different reason,
     E                             A
 I refused to queue up, yet they parade their expertise and I’m sold.


[Chorus]
C#m           A              E
 Last night I woke up terrified,
                  G#                 C#m
 blue lights were floating around my walls,
         A         E                           G#               C#m
 only to later realise, it’s just an ambulance on a late night call,
        A          E          G#          C#m
 a grim 2 a.m. reminder of my own mortality,  
        A                E              G#             A
I only wish that I could find a way to accurately describe,
      B
 the effect that this has on me.


[Verse]
 E A E A
   E                            A
 A canopy of comfort crumbles, helplessly I watch,
     E                                  A
 I'm soaked but I’m not drowning, I’m enamoured to this porch,
      E                           A
 your company is warmth enough we talk the night away,
   E                                 A
 a towel and some kind words keeping me afloat today,
          E                      A
 and when I’m like this I can’t cope with myself,
       E                    A
 and I realise that this is probably hell,
       E             A
 and I apologise, oh how I do,
          E                                A                      C#m
 I’m just thankful that you’re prepared to soldier through to the end.


[Chorus]
C#m           A              E
 Last night I woke up terrified,
                  G#                 C#m
 blue lights were floating around my walls,
         A         E                           G#               C#m
 only to later realise, it’s just an ambulance on a late night call,
        A          E          G#          C#m
 a grim 2 a.m. reminder of my own mortality,  
        A                E              G#             A
I only wish that I could find a way to accurately describe,
      B
 the effect that this has on me.


[Bridge]

C#m A E G# C#m A E G# A B

          E                B
 I take a walk down by the river,
         C#m             A
 but the night before it breached its banks,
             E                 B                          C#m
 and now the path’s absolutely covered with branches and leaves,
           A                          E
 and I can barely get past and I’m in heaven,
        B                   C#m               A
 I’m in heaven, this is the best thing I have ever seen,
          E                B
 I see no concrete, see no buildings,
               C#m               A
 it’s like I’m walking through a dream,
          E                  B          C#m          A
 Like the darkness of closed eyes on an August afternoon x4
