VERSE 1:
C+2 C9
My old addiction
F6 Fm6
Change the wiring in my brain
Csus2/E Am9
So that when it turns the switches
Dm9 G6sus4
Then I am not the same
C+2 C9
So like the flowers toward the sun, I will follow
F6 Fm6
And stretch myself out thin
Csus2/E Am9
Like there's a part of me that's already buried
Dm9 G6sus4
It sends me out into this wind oh
VERSE 2:
My old addiction
Is a flood upon the land
This tiny lifeboat can keep me dry
But my weight is all that it can stand
So when I try to leave just a little
Just a splash to cool my feet
Ah that trickle turns out fickle
Fills my boat up five miles deep
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
C+2 C9

VERSE 3:
My old addiction
Makes me crave only what is best
Like these just-this-morning songbirds
Craving upward from the nest
These tiny birds outside my window
Take my hand to be their Mom
These open mouths would trust and swallow
Anything that came along
VERSE 4:
Like my old addiction
Now the other side of day
As the springtime of my life's time
Turns the other way
If a swan can have a song
I think I know that tune
But the page is only scrawl
And I am gone this afternoon
CODA:
C+2 C9 F6 Fm6
Csus2/E Am9
But the page is only scrawl
Dm9 G6sus4 C+2
And I am gone this afternoon
