A#sus2
Is there anything left, Maybe steak and eggs
               Fm6  
Waking up to washing up
G7             Cm
Making up your bed
Cm  Gm    F      F6   F   D#         Cm7          A#
Lazy    days my razor   blade, Could use a better edge

It's enough to make you laugh
Relax in a nice cool bath
Inspiration for navigation
Of our new found craft
I know you
And you know me
It's always half and half

Chorus:
A7			   Dm
And we were oh oh, so you know
G7               C
Not the kind to dawdle
Bm7                  E7
Will the things we wrote today
A         E7    G#   A  
Sound as good tomorrow
Dm7                G7
We will still be writing
Cmaj7           Am
In approaching years
Bm7               E7
Stifling yawns on Sundays
        A        E7   A  
As the weekends disappear

We could stretch our legs if we'd half a mind
But don't disturb us if you hear us trying
To instigate the structure of another line or two
'Cause writing's lighting up
And I like life enough
To see it through

Chorus:
And we were, oh, oh, so, you know
Not the kind to dawdle
Will the things we wrote today
Sound as good tomorrow?
We will still be writing
In approaching years
Stifling yawns on Sundays
As the weekends disappear

We could stretch our legs if we'd half a mind
But don't disturb us if you hear us trying
To instigate the structure of another line or two
'Cause writing's lighting up
And I like life enough
To see it through
'Cause writing's lighting up
And I like life enough
To see it through
