1. Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart
-------------------------------------
 
[Intro]
Gbaug Bbm7
 
[Verse]
        Gbaug
There's nobody better than you
   Bbm7
It took me a while till I knew
        Gbaug
But you knew from the start it was us, didn't you?
        Db
It just took me a while till I knew
      Gb
Now I lay as I study a blank wall
          Bbm7
Would you spare me your voice if I call?
           Gbaug
'Cause you waited and watered my heart till it grew
         Db
You just grew a little smarter too
 
[Chorus]
   Bbm     Ab       Db     Ebm
So I don't blame you if you want to
Bbm             Ab          Gb             Ebm
Bury me in your memory, I'm not the girl I ought to be, but
Bbm7   Ab      Db        Ebm
Maybe when you tell your friends, you
    Bbm                Ab             Gb               Ebm
Can tell them what you saw in me, and not how I turned out to be
 
Bbm7
 
[Verse]
        Gbaug
There's some kind of burning inside me
     Bbm7
It's kept me from falling apart
        Gbaug
And I'm sure that you've seen what it's done to my heart
         Db
But it's kept me from falling apart
           Gb
Now here I lay, as I wonder about you
               Db
Would you just tell me what I'm meant to do?
            Gbaug                 Bbm7
'Cause I've waited and watered my heart till it grew
        Db
You can see how it's blossomed for you
 
[Chorus]
    Bbm     Ab       Db     Ebm
And I don't blame you if you want to
Bbm             Ab          Gb             Ebm
Bury me in your memory, I'm not the girl I ought to be, but
Bbm7   Ab      Db        Ebm
Maybe when you tell your friends, you
    Bbm                Ab             Gb            Ebm
Can tell them what you saw in me, and not the way I am
 
[Chorus]
    Bm      D
And I don't mean to make your heart blue
    Bm                     D
But could we be what we're meant to be?
    G             Em
I'm just about to beg you please
    Bm            G
And then when you tell your friends
        Bm                 D
You can tell them what you saw in me
    G             Em
And not the way I used to be
 
D
 
[Outro]
               G                  D
'Cause there's nobody better than you

[Intro]
Dm7  G  Dm7  G
Dm7  G  Dm7  G
 
[Verse 1]
Dm7           G/D
Your room was square
       Dm7          G/D
I once noticed from there
        Dm7         G/D
In your bed, as you slept
      Dm7     G/D
And I held my breath
Dm7        G/D         Dm7
Everything had its own place
      G/D           Dm7           Am7
And I wondered what space would I take
       Ddim      C
In the order you kept
 
[Interlude]
Dm7    G      Dm7    G
 
[Verse 2]
Dm7        G/D           Dm7
I tried to eat like your girlfriend
     G/D        Dm7            Am7
Just tea in the night, I'€™d end up
    G#        G
Too hungry to sleep
   Dm7      G/D         Dm7        G/D        Dm7
So lying awake, I would follow the aching inside
        Am7
I would find
     Ddim             C
It's for you won'€™t be mine
 
[Chorus]
C          Dm           F         Am
I tried my hardest, for I'd never learned
Am         F          Dm             C
God€™'s very simple and love shouldn'™t burn
    C          Dm          F            E
And I would'€™ve offered you all that you yearned for
    Am          F           Dm           C
But I was still waiting for something to earn
 
[Interlude]
C  Am  F  G
 
[Verse 2]
C             Dm      Em          F
What is that quiet of snow in the night?
    G    Am               G
The dark rings with white noise
       F         G
As you stand and drown
C          Dm           Em          F
Maybe it'€™s all of these snowflakes, screaming
G Am       G
A choir of mute
        Ddim          C
As they brace for the ground
 
[Interlude]
C              Am
Well that'€™s my ride
         C          Am
Hope you had a good night
          G           F
You know, you made me happy
C             Am
Here shake my hand
         C           Am
You make such a good man
      G            F
Never once did you know me
 
[Chorus]
C          Dm           F          Am
I tried my hardest, for how do you learn
Am         F          Dm           C
God€'s very simple and love doesn'€™t burn
    C           Dm         F          E
And maybe you'd offered me all that I yearned for
    Am          F           Dm           C
But I was still waiting for something to earn
 
[Outro]
Am        F        Dm     C
Silly me, waiting

[Verse 1]
    C
I love everybody
   E            C
Because I love you
  C
When you stood up
    Dm
Walked away, barefoot
         Am             C
And the grass where you lay
       F              C
Left a bed in your shape
    Am        G
I looked over it
       C
And I ached
 
 
[Verse 2]
     C     Cmaj7
I love everybody
    F            C
Because I love you
    F              C
I don't need the city, and I
    F       Am
Don't need proof
Am      C
All I need, darling
      F            E
Is a life in your shape
   F          G
I picture it, soft
        C
And I ache
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
  C          G             Dm  C
Look at you, strawberry blond
 
 
[Break]
Am C Dm F
F G C G
 
 
[Verse 3]
  C
Reach out the car window
   E                C
Trying to hold the wind
     C
You tell me you love her;
  Dm
I give you a grin
     C           Am
Oh all I ever wanted was a
 F              C
Life in your shape
      Am              G
So I follow the white lines
Am                G
Follow the white lines
Am                  G
Keep my eyes on the road
      C
As I ache
 
 
[Chorus]
C
Look at you, strawberry blond
Cmaj7
Fields rolling on
Gmaj7
I love it when you call my name
Am                           Dm
Can you hear the bumblebees swarm?
              C7
Watching your arm
                    F
I love it when you look my way
 
 
[Chorus]
  C                      F
Look at you, strawberry blond
               C7
Fields rolling on
                   F
I love it when you call my name
Am                           Dm
Can you hear the bumblebees swarm?
              Gmaj7
Watching your arm
                    F
I love it when you look my way
 
 
[Outro]
  Am            F    C   Am      C       F   C
Isaiah, Isaiah, Isaiah, Isaiah, Isaiah, Isaiah

[Verse 1]
                  G       Cm/G
I'll live in the bathtub
                G      Cm/G
It's cool and clean
                     Em/G    Em/F
It's smooth and it's steady
                 C/E    D7
It's all that I need
 
               G     Cm/A
I broke our belongings
                   G/B    Cm
They're all on the floor
                 Em     Bm
The room is now empty
     B/F#   C       Cm/Eb   G
Nothing left to throw
 
[Chorus]
 G                    G7/F
All the eggshells are on the ground
          Em              G#5      F#5
And I try, I'm trying to pick them up
        G                        Am
But they crack and crumble, it's all too much
     G/B      C      D
Too frail for me to touch
 Em                   G7/F
All the eggshells are on the ground
          C/E              Ab      Bb
And I try, I'm trying to pick them up
    G                            Cm/G
But they crack and crumble, it's all too much
       G       D     G
Too frail for me to touch

[Verse 2]
                  G     Cm
I'll live in the bathtub
               G      Cm
Surrounded by tiles
                 Em/G    Em/F
All so square and so steady
                    C/E        D7
I will die in their cool, cool arms
 
                  G     Cm/A
I broke what you gave me
                    G/B    Cm
But you kept giving more
                    Em     Bm
And I'm sorry for taking
      B/F#        C    Cm/Eb  G
But I keep wanting more, more, more
 
[Chorus]

All the eggshells are on the ground
          Em              G#5       F#5
And I try, I'm trying to pick them up
        G                        Am
But they crack and crumble, it's all too much
     G/B      C      D
Too frail for me to touch

All the eggshells are on the ground

There was no floor

There's a lie that I told to you

That now I can't tell the truth
G             C              Fm           C

I slept with a man you knew

There's a lie that I told to you

[Verse 1]
 C       G
Mom, I'm tired
       Am                    F
Can I sleep in your house tonight?
  C        G
Mom, is it alright
      Am                 G
If I stay for a year or two?
 
 
[Verse 2]
 C             G
Mom, I’ll be quiet
         Am                   F
It would be just to sleep at night
         Am            G
And I’ll leave once I figure out
        F         G        C
How to pay for my own life too
 
 
[Chorus]
 C              G
Mom, would you wash my back?
      Am                   F
This once, and then we can forget
           C              G
And I’ll leave what I’m chasing
          F              C
For the other girls to pursue
 
 
[Bridge]
G Am G F
 
 
[Outro]
 C         G
Mom, am I still young?
        F          G          C
Can I dream for a few months more?
