#VERSE 1:
My [C+2]old addic[C9]tion
[F6] Change the wiring in my [Fm6]brain
So that [Csus2/E]when it turns the [Am9]switches
[Dm9] Then I am not the s[G6sus4]ame
[C+2] So like the flowers toward the sun[C9], I will follow
[F6] And stretch myself out [Fm6]thin
Like there's a [Csus2/E]part of me that's [Am9]already buried
[Dm9] It sends me out into[G6sus4] this wind oh
VERSE 2:
My old addiction
Is a flood upon the land
This tiny lifeboat can keep me dry
But my weight is all that it can stand
So when I try to leave just a little
Just a splash to cool my feet
Ah that trickle turns out fickle
Fills my boat up five miles deep

VERSE 3:
My old addiction
Makes me crave only what is best
Like these just-this-morning songbirds
Craving upward from the nest
These tiny birds outside my window
Take my hand to be their Mom
These open mouths would trust and swallow
Anything that came along
VERSE 4:
Like my old addiction
Now the other side of day
As the springtime of my life's time
Turns the other way
If a swan can have a song
I think I know that tune
But the page is only scrawl
And I am gone this afternoon
CODA:
[C+2] [C9] [F6] [Fm6] But the [Csus2/E]page is only [Am9]scrawl
And [Dm9]I am gone[G6sus4] this afternoon[C+2]
