Intro

E--C#m--A--E-- x2

Verse 1

Mom and dad can't

remember if I told you

how glad I am I

finally got to know you

Years from when we

met after I left home

Let me sing you sweet

and distant fictions

On lonely nights you

will lay and listen

If you don't like it

wait until I fix it

Verse 2

Then morning comes and

cops invade my conscience

I run around

the house A heated atom

Can't foresee the outcome

but you can lean to one side

If ever I should seem

to take for gradated

this lovely life that

I have been handed

darling don't just stand

there come knock me around

because

Chorus 1

I know I can write my

way out of this black hole

Back to all the

things that I miss

Sometimes I wonder

if I even exist

Add another line

to my wish list

Verse 3

The overview is

not the same

as going through

the present joy

and all it took

to come to this

to know the ending

would be pretending

They took my words and

wrote them off as passing

It pissed me off enough

to keep m writing

Go make your living boy

I'll go on fighting cause

Chorus 2

I know I can write my

way out of this black hole

Back to all the

things that I miss

You stay digging at

your own little ditch

That's just another

thing on my wish list

Bridge

If I should slide

over and under

you know I just might stay

till I get it right

Guitar solo

Verse 4

Some people say I'm

corny or I'm morbid

I always thought I

was touching I was tragic

One man's magic

is another's plastic

Well which one is it?

Am I sweetness?

Am I sickness?

If I say both you will

say I lack commitment

Of course you're right

Of course I'm right but

Chorus 3

I know I can write

my way out of

this black hole

Back to all the

things that I miss

Sometimes I don't

even know you exist

That's just another

thing on my wish list
