Glasses Chords

(ver. 1)
Jonathan Coulton
[Intro]
E     G  D  A
 
 
[Verse 1]
A
Shed the days like skin
A
Pray for evenings in
                                                         D     A D A
Hold their hands in the street when you walk them off to school
A
A box too full to shut
A
Cardboard paper cut
                                                          D   A D A
Bleeding edge of a picture of your parents when they were cool
 
 
[Chorus]
E          D         A
So much to say, I forget to start
E            D
There goes a day, fading as it passes
E          D            A
Forget the grey, let it fall apart
Bm   D
It's okay
 
 
[Verse 2]
              A
I like you in glasses
A
Shovels in the sand
A
A playdough wedding band
                                             D
A drowning princess in a tangle of towels on the floor
A
An old familiar ache
A
The little pills we take
                                                    D
The thoughtless kindness of a coffee cup waiting by the door
 
 
[Chorus]
E          D         A
So much to say, I forget to start
E            D
There goes a day, fading as it passes
E          D            A
Forget the grey, let it fall apart
Bm   D
It's okay
 
 
[Bridge]
E
It's on the board
G              D            E
Someone's been double-booking
            G
I've got time
       D
How is your next week looking?
 
 
[Verse 3]
A
House shifts into place
N.C.
A little breathing space
                                             D             A
The radiators and the floorboards will argue while we sleep
A
There's water in the walls
A
The stairs make waterfalls
                                                       D
Down in the basement the soft sound of a river digging deep
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
E          D         A
So much to say, I forget to start
E            D
There goes a day, fading as it passes
E          D            A         D
Forget the grey, let it fall apart
E          D         A
So much to say, I forget to start
E            D
There goes a day, fading as it passes
E          D            A
Forget the grey, let it fall apart
Bm   D
It's okay
N.C.
I like you in glasses
