I'm Waking Up to Us

I need someone to take some joy in something I d[E]o  [Am]      [E]

You need a man who's either rich, or losing a sc[C#m]rew

You know I love you here's the i[B]rony:

[A]You're going to walk away intact[C#m],

I think you never loved me a[B]nyway

[A]You love yourself and you love m[E]en

to kiss your ars[B]e, expensive clo[E]thes, please stop me the[B]re

I think I'm [E]waking [A]up to [B]us, we're a disaster

[E]You don't [A]want to [B]know me cause you move in

[E]Circles [A]of the [B]brave, where art defines their [C#m]lives.

She was the [E]one love [A]of my l[B]ife, and I let her g[E]o  [Am]      [E]

And if I [E]look like d[A]eath tod[B]ay, then please let her[C#m] know

I never wanted any [B]harm for her,

[A]I only wanted her to [C#m]see the beauty of the world surro[B]unding her

[A]But when she opened up her [E]eyes

It's much too [B]late, our chance is [E]gone, she's with a [B]guy

Who takes the [E]prize for [A]every[B]thing I ever showed her

[E]Digging [A]all the [B]fun because she's older

I [E]fed her [A]with a [B]spoon, I made her mother sm[C#m]ile,

I helped the kid survive.

[E] [D] [A] [C] x2

She was the one love of my life, she showed me the r[E]oad [Am]    [E]

I loved her dog, her steady gaze, the chapter is clo[C#m]sed.

I only wanted all the [B]best for her,[A] the best thing was to stay a[C#m]way

She grew up and she left the [B]rest of us

[A]And now the understanding's gone[E]

I haven't c[B]hanged, how could I? [E] I'm pretty [B]much the same person

[E]I cannot keep[B] the anger [E]hidden a[A]nym[B]ore, but lucky for you

[E]You are [A]not ar[B]ound, my anger turns to [E]pity [A]and to [B]love,

The season has [C#m]arrived, The season has arrived.

Another great tune from an outstanding group of musicians,
brilliant in its simplicity and heart.
Remember, 'Contrahit orator, variant in carmine vates'.
