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 ~ This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
