Recovery Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Blacking in and out in a strange
[Am]flat in east London
[G]Somebody I don't really [C]know just
gave me [G]something to help
Settle me down and to [Am]stop me
from always thinking [G]about [C]you
[G]And you

[Verse 2]
know your life is heading
in [Am]a questionable
Direction when you're [G]up
for days with strangers
And you [C]can't remember anything
[G]except the way you sounded
When [Am]you told me you didn't
know what I should [G]do
[C]

[Verse 3]
[D]
It's a long road up to re
[C]covery[G] from her[C]e[D]
A long way back to the [C]light[D]
A long road up to [C]re cov[G]ery [C]from [G]here[D]
A long way to makin' it right
[C]

[Verse 4]
And I've been [G]wakin' in the
morning just like [Am]every other day
And just like [G]every boring blues song
I get [C]swallowed by the pain
And so I [G]fumble for your figure in the dark
[Am]ness just to make it go [Bm]away[G][C]
But you're not [G]lying there any
longer and I know [Am]that
That's my fault,
so I've been [Bm]pounding on the floor
An[G]d I've been [C]crawling up the walls
and I've been [G]dipping in my darkness
[Am]For Serotonin boosters,
[G]cider and some kind of [C]smelling [D]salts

[Verse 5]
It's a [D]long road up to re
[C]covery[G] from her[C]e[D]
A long way back to the [C]light[D]
A long road up to [C]recov[G]ery from [D]here
A long way to makin' it right
[C]

[Verse 6]
And on [Em]the first night we met, you said,
"Well, [C]darling, let's make a [G]deal"
If any[Em]body ever asks us,
let's [C]just tell them that we met in [G]jail
And that's [Em]the story that
I'm sticking to like
[C]A stony-faced accomplice, accomplice,
but to[G]night I need to hear
Some truth if I'm [D]ever
getting through this
Yeah, you [Em]once sent me a letter that said,
[C]"I f you're lost at sea
Close your [G]eyes and catch the tide,
my dear, and [D]only think of me
Well, [F]darling now I'm sinking,
and I'm as [C]lost as
Lost can be and I was [D]hoping
you could drag me
Up from down here towards
my recov[G]ery

[Verse 7]
[Am]If you[G][C][G]
[Am]coul[G]d ju[Bm]st g[G]ive[C][G]
me a sign,
yeah, just [Am]a subtle little glimmer
Some sug[G]gestion that you'd have me
if I could [C]only make you better
Then I would [G]stand a little stronger as I
[Am]walk a little taller [G]all the [C]time
Because I [G]know you are a cynic but I think
[Am]I can convince you, yeah,
'cause [G]broken people
Can get better if [C]they really want to
Or at [G]least that's what I have to tell my[Am]self
If I am hoping [G]to [C]survive

[Verse 8]
[D]
It's a long road up to re
[C]covery from her[D]e
A long way back to the [C]light[D]
A long road up to [C]re cov
[G]ery [C]from [D]here
A long way to makin' it right
[C]

[Verse 9]
[D]Darling, sweet [Dsus4]lover,
won't you help me to re[D]cover?
[C]Darling, sweet lover,
won't you help me to recover?
[D]Darling, sweet lover,
won't you help me to recover?
[C]Darling, sweet lover,
one day this will all be over
