A#m G#m In the afternoon A#m G#m Yellow curtains drawn A#m G#m Designed with comfort in mind A#m G#m Glowering into the night A#m G#m Feel like letting go A#m B Final resting place C# G#m The house cat knows when it's time A#m To enter another phase Chorus: F# B But you looked sad A#m G#m In a reassuring way A#m B And I don't want to leave F# B So we can both be the same In the afternoon Modern sovereignty The sunlight stopped coming through And we lost the game Brains like nesting dolls Plotting their escape The doorman sees you're alone He can't seem to find your name Chorus: But you, my friend Know problems can't be solved They don't understand That somehow it's all the same And somehow it's all the same And somehow it's all the same And somehow it's all the same Relief is like candy The sweetest kind of love Who'd guess that I'd feel this way?
