verse 1 Chords: (use these chords for all verses) 
                  C5 
I'm working on my backwards walk 
                F5 
walking with no shoes or socks 
                            G5 
and the time rewinds to the end of may 
                           F5 
I wish we'd never met then met today 

verse 2:  
I'm working on my faults and cracks,  
filling in the blanks and gaps 
and when I write them out they don't make sense 
I need you to pencil in the rest 

verse 3 
I'm working on drawing a straight line 
and i'll draw until i get one right 
it's bold and dark girl, can't you see 
I done drawn a line between you and me 

verse 4 
I'm working on erasing you 
just don't have the proper tools 
I get hammered, forget that you exist 
there's no way I'm forgetting this 

Verse 5: 
I'm working hard on walking out 
shoes keep sticking to the ground 
my clothes won't let me close the door 
these trousers seem to love your floor 

Verse 6: (last verse) 
                     C5 
I been working on my backwards walk

there's nowhere else for me to go 
                        G5 
except back to you just one last time 
                  F5 
say yes before I change my mind, say yes before I… 

Outro: (repeat 2x)

   you're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it 
                                           
you're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it 
F5 
   you're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it 
                                                    
you're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it, youre...
