Tone: [Eb]
Verse 1:
[Eb] Said you don't like per[F]persimmon
But the shade is quite[Bb]quite nice
[Bb7] Use your colorful[Gm]colorful language
As a shy way to [Eb]slight
So I dress in this [F]orange
But it doesn't look [Bb]right
[Bb7] Now the lake's frozen [Gm]over
Pre-Chorus:
I've got more room to [Eb7]glide
And [F]I slept [Bb]in til eleven
[Gm7] With the dog on my [Eb7]side
And [F]my foot [Bb]dang[Bb7]dangling off the [Gm7]mattress
Chorus:
I woke up [Eb7]numb
In [F]more ways than one
It's [Bb]more than a sen[Bb7]sensation
I[Gm7]I see it in all faces [Eb]now, n[F]now
Verse 2:
[Eb7] It's enough, it's subs[F]substantial
I've survived on much [Bb]less
[Bb7] What's a flame to a [Gm7]candle
When you're melting re[Eb7]regardlеss?
So xxxx that xxxxx in your [F]story
And xxxx me after I [Bb]guess
[Bb7] I took hеr arm in the [Gm7]lobby
Pre-Chorus:
And I made a new [Eb7]friend
[F]Then talked [Bb]xxxx til e[Bb7]eleven
[Gm7] It's a means to an [Eb7]end
a [F]road to a bend
a [Bb]woefully [Bb7]natural pro[Gm7]progression
Chorus:
I woke up [Eb7]numb
In [F]more ways than one
It's [Bb]more than a sen[Bb7]sensation
I[Gm7]I see it in all faces [Eb]now, n[F]now
Bridge:
Is it so [Eb]wrong of [F]me?
Legend [Bb]has it, I'm [Bb7]senti[Gm]sentimental
I hold a [Eb]strong be[F]belief in
[Bb]All things in[Bb7]inconseq[Gm]consequential
Just like a [Eb]highway fi[F]fire
I'm taking [Bb]it as a s[Bb7]sign, as a [Gm]sign
I gotta turn aro[Eb]around, a[F]around
Outro:
[Eb] Said you don't like per[F]persimmon
They take too long to [Bb]grow
[Bb7] If you practice your p[Gm7]patience
Maybe one day you'll [Eb]know
Why I dress in this [F]orange
Why I'm taking it [Bb]slow
[Bb] Now the [Bb7]lakes frozen [Gm7]over ~
