  			Verse 
G        C       Em7 
  We sit at the table, 
        G5/D           G 
  and still refuse to eat 
            C                 Em7 
  Keep our hands filled with pitchforks to use as cutlery 
C                  D             Dsus4 
  I don’t want to fight with you, 
C                                   C * 
  but the words you say aren’t true 

Verse 
G       C              Em7 
  I’ll paper up these walls, 
         G5/D            G 
  while moments turn to years; 
          C               Em7 
  Always waiting on your call? 
                  G5/D            C 
  will this house ever feel like home, dear? 

Pre-Chorus 
                   D            Dsus2 D Dsus4 
  I don’t want to fight anymore, 
C                                           C *         C 
  but you’re breaking through, and you’re slamming doors 

Chorus 
                D5             G           C 
  And now I’m cleaning up the mess you made 
             D5             G           C 
  I’m just cleaning up the mess you made 
                Em7     D 
  You can just keep on walking, 
       G           C 
  and call it a parade, 
              Dsus2          G        C   C * 
  while I’m cleaning up the mess you made

  I’ll wander ‘round these city blocks until I find my spot 
           C            Em 
  but I’m falling over my feet, 
                     C 
  and all my messy thoughts
