D            Em    G               C
Dirt on your heels, you've made a mess
D            Em       G             C
Down by the carpark, high off your head
 D           G              Em                C
Honey don't worry, nobody's angry at any of this
 D          G                      Am
Darling be patient, stare into the vacancy,
        C
take a deep breath

It's like when you're tired, you're someone else
Don't speak for some time
to find those words inside yourself
Honey, don't worry,
I'll do your laundry, covered in dirt
Darling be patient,
it's easy to break beneath the weight of the earth
And I said

Chorus:
Em    G       C
Always, I'll wait
      Em              G       C
For sharp glass when you break
C           Em                    D
I'll be the light that you can't make
C            Em               D
I'll be your eyes, you be my face
        C
'Cause darling, I get scared for you
And I'm not busy anyway

Today you looked older than me
Hair in your face,
it fills the space between your teeth
And all of your falling, has it got exhausting?
Have you gotten sleep?
You said you were sorry,
that you hadn't called me in over a week
And I said

Chorus:
Always, I'll wait
For sharp glass when you break
I'll be the light that you can't make
I'll be your eyes, you be my face
'Cause darling I get scared for you
And I'm not busy anyway

  C D  Em                            Bm
I hope I ain't the last of what the world left you
A coat, something you only wear in cold weather
I hope I ain't the last of what the world left you
A coat, something you only wear in cold weather
I hope I ain't the last of what the world left you
A coat, something you only wear in cold weather, oh
And I hope
I ain't the last of what the world left you
A coat, something you only wear in cold weather
(You know better)
And I said

Chorus:
Always, I'll wait
For sharp glass when you break
I'll be the light that you can't make
I'll be your eyes, you'll be my face
Darling I get scared for you
And I'm not busy anyway
