Chords.

You booked the night train for a reason,

so you could sit there, in, this, hurt,

bustling crowds or silent sleepers,

you’re not sure which, is, worse.

Because I, dropped your hand while dancin’,

left you out there standin’,

crestfallen on the landin’ –

just plain problems.

Your mom’s ring in your pocket,

my picture in your wallet,

your heart was glass I dropped it –

just plain problems.

You told your fam’ly for a reason,

you couldn’t keep, it, in,

your sister cryin’ in the corner,

now no one’s, celebra…tin’.

Good intentions you brought it,

no crowd of friends applauded,

your hometown skeptics called it –

just plain problems.

You had a speech you’re speechless,

love slipped beyond your reaches

and I couldn’t give a reason –

just plain problems.

Your Midas touch on the Chevy door,

November flush and your flannel cure,

“This dorm was once a madhouse,”

I made a joke, “Well it’s made for me” how,

evergreen our group of friends,

don’t think we’ll say that word again,

and soon they’ll have the nerve to

deck the halls that we once walked through.

One for the money, two for the show,

I never was ready so I watch you go.

Sometimes you just don’t know the answer

’til someone’s on their knees and asks you.

“She would’ve made, such a lovely bride,

what a shame she’s stuck in her head,” they said.

But you’ll find the real thing instead,

she’ll patch up your tapestry that I shred.

And hold your hand while dancin’,

left you out there standin’,

crestfallen on the landin’ –

just plain problems.

Your mom’s ring in your pocket,

my picture in your wallet,

you won’t remember all my

mundane problems.

You won’t remember all my

mundane problems.
