The Weakerthans - Aside

^FMeasure me in metered lines And ^Amone decisive stare The ^Ctime it takes to get from here to ^Bbthere My ^Fribs that show through t-shirts And these ^Amshoes I got for free I'm ^Cunconsoled I'm ^Bblonely, I am ^CSo much better th^Bban I used to be^{Am G}

^FTerrified of telephones And ^Amshopping malls and knives ^CDrowning in the pools of other ^Bblives Re^Fly a bit too heavily On ^Amalcohol and irony Get ^Cclobbered on By ^Bbcourtesy In l^Cove with love and ^Bblousy poetry ^{Am G}

And I'm ^Fleaning on this ^Bbbroken fence Between ^Dmpast and present ^Bbtense And I'm ^Flosing all those ^Bbstupid games That I ^Dmswore I'd never ^Bbplay But it ^Dmalmost ^Cfeels ^Fokay ^{C Bb F C Bb}

^Am Circumnavigate this ^Cbody Of ^Dmwonder and ^Cuncertain^Bbty ^Am Armed with every precious ^Cfailure And ^Dmamateur ^Ccartogra^Bbphy

I ^Cspread those maps out ^Bbon my bedroom floor ^{Am G} [Chorus]

N.C.

And I'm ^Fleaning on this ^Bbbroken fence

Between ^Dmpast and present ^Bbtense And I'm ^Flosing all those ^Bbstupid games That I ^Dmswore I'd never ^Bbplay But it ^Dmfeels o^Ckay And I'm ^Fleaving ^Cwith good^Bbbye And I'm ^Flosi^Cng but I'll ^Bbtry With the ^Dmlast ways ^Cleft To re^Dmmember s^Cing My im^Dmperfect ^Coffer^Fing
