Canopies And Grapes

• Em

Capo on Fret 4

The song is based around the chords, Em, G and D,  with a Cmaj7 thrown in at the end of 
I have put the chords above the words for the whole song as it can be tricky to know 
where the changes are.

Em               G          D
         I wanna see you tonight
            Em
What's the point?
       G     D
All we do is fight
           Em
I've loved you
        G
So long
D               Em       G       D
I donno who I'd be without

           Em
My head hurts
          G           D
I wish I'd never woke up
           Em
I feel worse
                 G       D
than when S Club 7 broke up
             Em
I hate the day

It hates me
        G       D      Em        G       D
So does everybody else
            Em                 G           D
I sit here drooling on my own again
           Em                 G            D
and like a routine episode of Friends
              Em              G            D
What does it mean to be American?
       Cmaj7
Is it
          G           D
feelings,     coffee and

I'll be there for you?

Then I'll call your house at twelve to let you know that I'm drunk
         Em                      G              D
Say I'm sorry Mr C, I was just looking for your son
              Em                       G           D

              Em                                 G          D
There is this book he lent to me something like seven months ago
          Em                               G           D
I'm gonna burn it in the street be so kind as let him know

                Em                                G         D
I think you're right about the New Kids on the Block
      Em                            G         D
And I agree now Billy Joel does not rock
             Em                                 G                    D
Wish I could tell you all the things that Woody Allen helps me see

When I get to sleep I'll dream again of canopies and grapes
          Em                                 G                  D
And wake shaking from the knowledge that the mattress holds your shape
   Em                               G                D
I assume my phone is dead because it hasn't rung for months
   Em                              G                    D

Take up smoking and drink carrot juice and grow

Teach the mattress to expel you from its folds
            Em                               G                D
Then dry my eyes and keep on walking til the motion makes me strong
           Em                     G                 D
Until one day i realise I don't remember that you're gone

I'll recover

It's so weird how time goes on
