Recovery

Chords

Standard

C                        G   
Blacking in and out in a strange flat in East London
C                       F    
Somebody I don't really know just gave me something
   C                          G                             C       F    
To help settle me down and to stop me from always thinking about you 
         C                               G    
And you know you're life is heading in a questionable direction
            C                                  F    
When you're up for days with strangers and you can't remember anything
 C                                  G                                     C F          
Except the way you sounded when you told me you didn't know what I should do
G                             F              G
     It's a long road up to recovery from here
                       F    C   
A long way back to the light
G                             F               G
     It's a long road up to recovery from here
                        F    C    
A long way to making it right
          C                            G    
And so I wake up in the morning just like every other day
               C                             F    
And just like every boring blues song I get swallowed by the pain
       C                           G                            C  F    
So I fumble for your figure in the darkness just to make it go away
               C                            G    
But you're not lying there any longer and I know that that's my fault
             C                                   F    
So I've been pounding on the floor and I've been crawling up the walls
                  C                      G      
And I've been dipping in my darkness for serotonin 
          C                      F    
boosters, cider and some kind of smelling salts
G                             F               G
     It's a long road up to recovery from here
                       F    C     
A long way back to the light
G                             F               G
     It's a long road up to recovery from here
                        F    C    
A long way to making it right
           Am                               F                    C
So on the first night we met, you said well darling let's make a deal
   Am                    F                                   C   
If anybody ever asks us, let's just tell them that we met in jail
               Am                                F    
And that's the story that I'm sticking to like a stony-faced accomplice
    C                                        G    
But tonight I need to hear some truth if I'm ever getting through this
          Am                               F    
Yeah, you once sent me a letter that said "If you're lost at sea
           C                                   G    
Close your eyes and catch the tide my dear and only think of me"
      Bb                                 F    
Well, darling now I'm was sinking I'm as lost as lost can be
           G                                                      C
And I was hoping you could drag me up from down here towards my recovery
 
G  C  F        
 
             C                           G    
If you could just give me a sign, just a subtle little glimmer
       C                                      F    
Some suggestion that you'd have me if I could only make me better
              C                           G                    C           F    
Then I would stand a little stronger as I walk a little taller all the time
           C                         G   
Because I know you are a cynic but I think I can convince you
             C                           F    
Yeah, cause broken people can get better if they really want to
       C                                 G                    C        F    
Or at least that's what I have to tell myself if I am hoping to survive
G                             F               G
     It's a long road up to recovery from here
                       F    C    
A long way back to the light
G                             F               G
     It's a long road up to recovery from here
                        F    C   
A long way to making it right
G
So, darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover
F    
Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover
G

F                                       C
Darling, sweet lover, one day this will all be over
