You said, "I can't take no more"
C#
Lying by the sycamore
       G#                          C#
And I know we've both been here before
G#
You said, "Fuck, let's leave the blame"
C#
Heartache always feels the same
        G#                          C#
And I know we've both been here before

Chorus:
    G#
Oh, here I am, settled in at your house
  C#
Broken blinds keep the light coming out
    Fm7 D#                    C#
And I   am just the shape I'm in
     G#
Ooh, here I am, settled in, crying out
  C#
Finding all the things that I can't do without
    Fm7 D#        C#
Oh, I   am giving in
                 G# C#
Oh, I'm in retrograde
                 G#
Oh, I'm in retrograde
      C#
Retrograde

Standing staring straight ahead
Listening when Stevie says, mmm
"Come out of the darkness"
Feeling all I've ever known
Fall away and letting go
Oh, come out of the darkness

Chorus:
Ooh, here I am, settled in on your floor
Quieting all the world outside your door
And I am reckoning
Oh, here I am, settling, freaking out
You bring me in to help me, let me get me out
Oh I, I, I, I'm in retrograde
I'm in retrograde

     G#
Oh, if only I could give in
If I could get out
   C#
If only I could break in
If you could let me out
   G#
If only I could let go
If I could sit out
   C#
If only I could get back
                      G#
If I could let me out
                 C#
Oh, I'm in retrograde
        G#
Yeah, mmm
             C#
I'm in retrograde
G#       C#
Ooh, ooh, ooh
