Overcome Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Empty dishes still sitting where
I'm gonna [A]leave it
This lamp hasn't been lit in
quite a long [D]while[A][D][A]
The [D]wick doesn't [A]reach
what's [D]left of [A]the wax
And the rain is coming and I'm [D]overcome
[A][D]

[Verse 2]
[A]These bad[D] newspap[A]er s,[D]
they pile up on [A]me
Dogs gaze out the window,
I know how they [D]feel[A]
Adven[D]ture, ad[A]ven[D]ture
[A]or [D]sit by the doo[A]r?
Open open, sesame, I'm overcome
[D][A][D]

[Verse 3]
Figur[G]ines, dripping faucets,
laun[D]dry and [A]dust[D][A]
I [G]hate to leave this a mess but I [D]must
[A]Small little suitcase, smaller little belt
Small walking shoes and a whole life to

[Interlude 1]
prove
[D][A]
[D][A][D][A][D][A]
[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Keepsakes can be [A]anchors
and [D]an vils and [A]such
Like pianos and pets and
the people we [D]love[A]
[D]Can't change the world from
this chair on my [A]space
Spiders tag walls with their
names in [D]this place

[Verse 5]
[A]
Figur[G]ines, dripping faucets,
laundry and [D]dust[A][D]
[A]I h[G]ate to leave this a mess
but I [D]must[A][D][A][D]
[A]Small little suitcase, smaller little belt
Small walking shoes and
a whole life to prove
[D]

[Verse 6]
Oh, it's never a clean break
when you're trying to [A]leave

[Outro 1]
But songbirds need homes in live oak trees
[D]
