Intro: 8AM

Verse 1:
A                Bm               Gbm          D
I awake from the comatose but the nurses never glance
        A                  Bm                        Gbm
Because I was asleep on my friend's sofa, they were going out to class
  A                      Bm              Gbm          D
I ascended the stairs to find you, still lying in her bed
A                         Bm                        Gbm7
We had classes too but we just talked fragile till noon instead


A
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Bm
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Gbm7
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
D
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
A
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Bm
(Yeah, yeah, yеah)
Gbm7
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Verse 2:
    A               Bm         Gbm           D
You laugh at all my jokеs, not because you'd understand
    A                   Bm             Gbm
But because you were my home, built on stone instead of sand
    A             Bm              Gbm                  D
And when you went away to stay in some foreign distant land
        A              Bm     Gbm
I still felt you in my brain, smiling, holding my hand

Chorus:
           Dmaj7         Bm7
You didn't want a boy to free you
         A        E
You just needed a confidant (needed a confidant)
    Dmaj7       Bm7
Someone to understand you
         A                    E
Not just biding for their own wants (biding for their own wants)
            Dmaj7       Bm7
And I would be anything for you
               A            E
Cause on those most chaotic nights (needed a confidant)
            Dmaj7           Bm7
You were my warm calming companion
         A               E
Like the sweetest cup of chai

Bridge:
        D
We tied grass around our fingers
     E
Faux Halloween night wedding
    Gbm
The grass would never last
       A
But we didn't care for fancy things
  D
I wrote two songs about our lives
    E
And nights oh so fantastic
    Gbm
And from a Christmas cracker you got me a new ring made of plastic
         A
I felt I lost that piece of us
        D
When my mind began to fray
     E
When you came home
          Gbm
I let our house fall into disarray
   A
My ring fell down the drain
     D
As I washed my twisted face
          E
Because I let your essence go
Gbm           A             D
I've not felt clean to this day...

Chorus:
           Dmaj7         Bm7
You didn't want a boy to free you
         A        E
You just needed a confidant (needed a confidant)
    Dmaj7       Bm7
Someone to understand you
         A                    E
Not just biding for their own wants (biding for their own wants)
            Dmaj7       Bm7
And I would be anything for you
               A            E
Cause on those most chaotic nights (needed a confidant)
            Dmaj7           Bm7
You were my warm calming companion
         A               E
Like the sweetest cup of chai
