Verse  1:
Eb                       F
  Said you don't like persimmon
                      Bb
But the shade is quite nice
Bb7                 Gm
   Use your colorful language
                Eb
As a shy way to slight
                   F
So I dress in this orange
                    Bb
But it doesn't look right
Bb7                      Gm
   Now the lake's frozen over

Pre-Chorus:
                      Ebmaj7
I've got more room to glide
    F       Bb
And I slept in til eleven
Gm7                  Ebmaj7
  With the dog on my side
    F       Bb  Bb7          Gm7
And my foot dangling off the mattress

Chorus:
          Ebmaj7
I woke up numb
   F
In more ways than one
     Bb             Bb7
It's more than a sensation
 Gm7                  Eb    F
I see it in all faces now, now

Verse 2:
Ebmaj7                    F
  It's enough, it's substantial
                      Bb
I've survived on much less
Bb7                    Gm7
   What's a flame to a candle
                      Ebmaj7
When you're melting regardlеss?
                           F
So xxxx that xxxxx in your story
                    Bb
And xxxx me after I guess
Bb7                     Gm7
  I took hеr arm in the lobby

Pre-Chorus:
                 Ebmaj7
And I made a new friend
F           Bb        Bb7
Then talked xxxx til eleven
Gm7                   Ebmaj7
   It's a means to an end
  F
a road to a bend
  Bb       Bb7        Gm7
a woefully natural progression

Chorus:
          Ebmaj7
I woke up numb
   F
In more ways than one
     Bb             Bb7
It's more than a sensation
 Gm7                  Eb    F
I see it in all faces now, now

Bridge:
         Eb       F
Is it so wrong of me?
       Bb          Bb7  Gm
Legend has it, I'm sentimental
         Eb       F
I hold a strong belief in
Bb           Bb7   Gm
All things inconsequential
            Eb        F
Just like a highway fire
           Bb       Bb7       Gm
I'm taking it as a sign, as a sign
                Eb    F
I gotta turn around, around

Outro:
Eb                        F
   Said you don't like persimmon
                      Bb
They take too long to grow
Bb7                     Gm7
  If you practice your patience
                     Eb
Maybe one day you'll know
                    F
Why I dress in this orange
                  Bb
Why I'm taking it slow
Bb        Bb7          Gm7
  Now the lakes frozen over ~
