no capo

[Verse 1]
Eb
  Can't afford the time,
                   Bb
it's still feeling borrowed
            Cm
I'm in a perpetual state
                    Ab
of longing to be in motion
               Eb
I've been this way since you left
        Bb                   Cm
Burning up at both my ends, again
   Eb                           Bb
My existential dread of staying home,
         Cm
I had no plans
But I feel there's something
            Ab
I'm missing out on
          Eb
'Cause if I slow down
               Bb
and don't keep swimming, I think I'll drown
Cm
    So don't stop me now


[Pre-Chorus]
   Eb
My mind's a mile a minute
         Bb                            Ab
You left space nothing to fill it and I (I)
      Eb
I can change the way I'm living
             Bb
Ask how I've been, just say, "I'm busy",
      Cm       Ab
it's not a lie


[Chorus]
Eb
  'Cause if I keep on my toes
Bb
  I barely notice you're gone
Cm
  Between the bus and the late train
Ab
  No time for the feeling to creep in
Eb
  And if I keep up appearance
Bb
  Don't mind thе gap I've been left with
Cm
  Then no onе will notice
Ab
  Different city, my house isn't home yet
Eb
  'Cause if I keep on my toes
Bb
  I barely notice you're gone
Cm
  Between the bus and the late train
Ab
  No time for the feeling to creep in
Eb
  And if I keep up appearance
Bb
  Don't mind the gap I've been left with
Ab
  Then no one will notice
Ebm
  Different city, my house isn't home yet


[Verse 2]
Eb
  You know sitting still's
gonna make me restless
Bb       Cm
     One place for too long
                    Ab
is bound to make me anxious
       C          Cm
But my self worth is unstable
        Bb
and I'm built on fragile terms
      Cm                       Ab
I'm relying on the kindness of strangers

passing words
          Eb
When they don't know who I am,
     Bb
they don't know what I've done
         Cm
That I'm chasing up something,
         Ab
but it's me I can't outrun
(Oh, oh oh, oh)


[Pre-Chorus]
   Eb
My mind's a mile a minute
         Bb                           Cm Ab
You left space nothing to fill it and I (I)
      Eb
I can change the way I'm living
             Bb
Ask how I've been, just say, "I'm busy",
      Cm       Ab
it's not a lie
Oh


[Chorus]
Eb
  'Cause if I keep on my toes
Bb
  I barely notice you're gone
Cm
  Between the bus and the late train
Ab
  No time for the feeling to creep in
Eb
  And if I keep up appearance
Bb
  Don't mind the gap I've been left with
Cm
  Then no one will notice
Ab
  Different city, my house isn't home yet


[Outro]
Eb                      Bb            Cm Ab
  When you left this is how I adapted
So don't tell me
             Eb
that I don't know the difference
        Bb                      Cm
Between being fine and being distracted
Mind the gap on your exit
