Canopies And Grapes Tab

by Emmy The Great


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 
the changes are.

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

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

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

I'll be there for you?

       x2

                                                 
Later on me and a bottle will hook up to have some fun
                                                          
Then I'll call your house at twelve to let you know that I'm drunk
                                             
Say I'm sorry Mr C, I was just looking for your son
                                                
How are you, incidentally, do you know if he's out alone?
                                                         
There is this book he lent to me something like seven months ago
                                                    
I'm gonna burn it in the street be so kind as let him know
          
that I'm dealing
          
with this badly
 
and

could he please get back to me?

     x2

                                                        
Since you've gone my only friends are Billy Bragg and the Jam
                                                   
Though my time with you has got me feeling oh so k.d. lang
                                  	                   
I think you're right about the New Kids on the Block
                                           
And I agree now Billy Joel does not rock
                                                                  
Wish I could tell you all the things that Woody Allen helps me see
                                                         
How Annie Hall is starting to seem quite a lot like you and me
                                                 
It took a while to come around to David Bowie's new CD
                                                      
And it's much too late to give back your Magnetic Fields EP
     
Can I keep it
      
by my pillow?
        
Fucking loved it

How I long to tell you so

     x2

                                                   
When I get to sleep I'll dream again of canopies and grapes
                                                             
And wake shaking from the knowledge that the mattress holds your shape
                                                  
I assume my phone is dead because it hasn't rung for months
                                                     
If tomorrow is the funeral do you think that you could come?
                                                         
I could give you back your music and your t-shirts and your socks
                                              
Walk to Jazz's house in SOHO cry into her letter box
                                              
Spend some time out to resuscitate my soul
                                                    
Take up smoking and drink carrot juice and grow
            			                    	                    
Teach the mattress to expel you from its folds
                                                           
Then dry my eyes and keep on walking til the motion makes me strong
                                                 
Until one day i realise I don't remember that you're gone
          
We'll be strangers
          
who were lovers
      
I'll recover
                               
It's so weird how time goes on
