A#m    G#m
In the afternoon
A#m     G#m
Yellow curtains drawn
A#m            G#m
Designed with comfort in mind
A#m       G#m
Glowering into the night
A#m        G#m
Feel like letting go
A#m    B
Final resting place
C#             G#m
The house cat knows when it's time
A#m
To enter another phase

Chorus:
F#              B
But you looked sad
A#m      G#m
In a reassuring way
A#m          B
And I don't want to leave
F#              B
So we can both be the same

In the afternoon
Modern sovereignty
The sunlight stopped coming through
And we lost the game
Brains like nesting dolls
Plotting their escape
The doorman sees you're alone
He can't seem to find your name

Chorus:
But you, my friend
Know problems can't be solved
They don't understand
That somehow it's all the same
And somehow it's all the same
And somehow it's all the same
And somehow it's all the same

Relief is like candy
The sweetest kind of love
Who'd guess that I'd feel this way?
Like a kid in a candy store

A kid in a candy store - x7
