(Verse)

There's a Ddrawer in my house that I Dmtry to keep closed but it's Copen
There's a Gcommitment that I made to Fbe somewhere but it's Cbroken
An Foblique mantra [Fm6]in my head, it Clies there on the floor Glike a bed that would
FCollapse like a Dmtrap, if it was Cspoken

(Chorus)

AmYou gotta keep it Geven, even when you're uptight
AmEven when you're Ahappy, even when you're reaching for some
DLine I've had in mind, it's been reDmpressed over time, so I'm Cbreathing
SeGduced by an excuse that could Fnot be made but I'm Cspeaking

(Instrumental)

Am Am C C
G F C C
Am Am G G
Am Am A A

(Verse)

There's a Dphone with a number that I Dmtry not to call but it's Cringing
For Gsomeone I've tried to keep Fto myself but I'm Csinging
It's Flogic that's twisted and [Fm6]paraphrased and Cjustified by a Gdistance
That Fseparates a Dmbond, bound of perCsistence

(Chorus)

AmYou gotta keep it Geven, even when you're uptight
AmEven when you're Ahappy, even when you're reaching for
That Ddrawer in my house that I Dmtry to keep closed but its Copen
