Verse: A E7 Blacking in and out in a strange flat in East London A D Somebody I don't really know just gave me something A E7 A D To help settle me down and to stop me from always thinking about you A E7 And you know you're life is heading in a questionable direction A D When you're up for days with strangers and you can't remember anything A E7 A D Except the way you sounded when you told me you didn't know what I should do Chorus: E E7 D E it's a long road up to recovery from here E7 D A A a long way back to the light E E7 D E it's a long road up to recovery from here E7 D A A a long way to making it right Verse: A E7 And so I wake up in the morning just like every other day A D And just like every boring blues song I get swallowed by the pain A E7 A D So I fumble for your figure in the darkness just to make it go away A E7 But you're not lying there any longer and I know that that's my fault A D So I've been pounding on the floor and I've been crawling up the walls A E7 And I've been dipping in my darkness for serotonin A D boosters, cider and some kind of smelling salts Chorus: E E7 D E it's a long road up to recovery from here E7 D A A a long way back to the light E E7 D E it's a long road up to recovery from here E7 D A A a long way to making it right Bridge: Gbm D A So on the first night we met, you said well darling let's make a deal Gbm D A If anybody ever asks us, let's just tell them that we met in jail Gbm D And that's the story that I'm sticking to like a southern facing compass A E But tonight I need to hear some truth if I'm ever getting through this Gbm D Yeah, you once sent me a letter that said if you're lost at sea A E Close your eyes and catch the tide my dear and only think of me G D Well, darling now I'm was sinking I'm as lost as lost can be E E7 A And I was hoping you could drag me up from down here towards my recovery Interlude: E7 A D Verse: A E7 If you could just give me a sign, just a subtle little glimmer A D Some suggestion that you'd have me if I could only make me better A E7 A D Then I would stand a little stronger as I walk a little taller all the time A E7 Because I know you are a cynic but I think I can convince you A D Yeah, cause broken people can get better if they really want to A E7 A D Or at least that's what I have to tell myself if I am hoping to survive Chorus: E E7 D E it's a long road up to recovery from here E7 D A A a long way back to the light E E7 D E it's a long road up to recovery from here E7 D A A a long way to making it right Outro: E So, darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover D Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover E Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover D A Darling, sweet lover, one day this will all be over
