A                         E7sus4
Blacking in and out in a strange flat in east London. 
A/C#                     D
Somebody I don't really know just gave me something 
A                              E7sus4
To help settle me down and to stop me from always 
A/C#               D
Thinking about you. 
 
 
 
A                                       E7sus4
And you know your life is heading in a questionable direction 
A/C#                                            D
When you're up for days with strangers and you can't remember 
A                                          E7sus4
Anything except the way you sounded when you told me you didn't know what I 
A/C#       D
Should do. 
 
 
E                         D              E                             D
It's a long road out to recovery from here, a long way back to the light. 
E                  D             E                    D           A
long road out to recovery from here, a long way to making it right.
 
 
            A
And so I wake up in the morning 
         E7sus4
Just like every other day and 
          A/C#
Just like every boring blues song 
       D
I get swallowed by the pain, 
       A
So I fumble for your figure 
    E7sus4               A/C#         D
In the darkness just to make it go away. 
 
 
A                                           E7sus4
But you're not lying there any longer and I know that it's my fault 
          A/C#
So I've been pounding on the floor and I've been 
D                                       A
Crawling on the walls and I've been dipping my darkness 
E7sus4                               A/C#                D
For serotonin boosters, cider and some kind of smelling salts. 
 
 
E                         D              E                             D
It's a long road out to recovery from here, a long way back to the light. 
E                  D             E                    D           A
long road out to recovery from here, a long way to making it right.
 
 
F#m                                            D                  A
So on the first night we met you said well darling let's make a deal, 
F#m                                   D                           A
If anybody ever asks us well let's just tell them that we met in jail. 
F#m                                                  D
And that's the story that I'm sticking to like a stony-face accomplice 
A                                              E
But tonight I need to hear some truth if I'm ever getting through this. 
F#m                                         D
Yeah, you once sent me a letter that said if you're lost at sea, 
A                                                E
Close your eyes and catch a tide my dear, and only think of me. 
G                                         D
Well darling now I'm sinking and I'm as lost as lost can be 
E                                                         A
And I'm hoping you can drag me out from down here towards to my recovery.

A                                          E7sus4
If you could just give me a sign, just a subtle little glimmer, 
A/C#                                            D
Some suggestion that you'd have me if I could only make me better 
A                                   E7sus4              A/C#           D
Then I'd stand a little stronger, as I walk a little taller all the time. 
 
 
 
A                                    E7sus4
Because I know you are a cynic but I think I can convince you 
A/C#                                        D
Yeah, 'cause broken people can get better if they really want to 
A                                       E7sus4
Or at least that's what I have to tell myself 
A/C#                    D
If I'm hoping to survive. 
 
 
 
E                         D              E                             D
It's a long road out to recovery from here, a long way back to the light. 
E                  D             E                    D           A
long road out to recovery from here, a long way to making it right.
 
 
 
 
A                                 E7sus4
So darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover, 
A/C#                             D
Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover, 
A                               E7sus4
Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover, 
A/C#                               D
Darling, sweet lover, one day this will all be over.
