Parents Livingroom

Bb                                      C    F
How do you choose your words –
That’s where I judge your darling.
Where the attention comes from depends on how much I care.
C                               Am              Bb  (little lick around Bb up to C)
And I do remember waking up with a headache in your parents’ livingroom.

Bb                                      C    F
I remember those years, they’re hard not to remember.
All the things you wrote then, I know them word by word,
C                               Am              Bb  (little lick around Bb up to C)
But I don’t remember playing your piano in your parents’ livingroom.

Bb                                      C    F
Oh, so they say: Oh, shut up, will you!
It’s so strange how much in life that changes you.
C                               Am              Bb  (little lick around Bb up to C)
And I do remember waking up with a headache in your parents’ livingroom.

Bb               C    F Dm                      C       Bb
A smell and a sound, a moving picture can take you back again.
Am                      Bb
And I, I don’t know how to take it.
And you, you don’t know how to spell it,
Yeah, you don’t know how to spell it.

Bb                                      C    F
There’s so much we need to say, there’s so much to understand.
On my way home in the car you held my hand.
C                               Am              Bb  (little lick around Bb up to C)
And I do remember sleeping in your house, on the floor,
With the dust in my eye.

Bb                                      C    F
Oh, so they say: Oh, shut up, will you!
There are so many secrets and I’m telling this one to you,
C                               Am              Bb  (little lick around Bb up to C)
Turning back all the clocks and the memories from your parent’s livingroom.

Bb               C    F Dm                      C       Bb
A smell and a sound, a moving picture can take you back again.
Am                      Bb
And you, you just know how to spell it.
Am                      Bb
And I, I don’t know how to take it.
