From "Human Performances" (2016)
 
[Verse]
DThere's a drawer in my house
Dmthat I try to keep closed but
Cit's open
GThere's a commitment that I
Fmade to be somewhere but
Cit's broken
F Fm6An oblique mantra in my head,
C Git lies there on the floor
like a bed that would
F DmCollapse like a trap, if it was
Cspoken
 
 
[Chorus]
Am GYou gotta keep it even, even
when you're uptight
Am AEven when you're happy, even
when you're reaching for some
DLine I've had in mind, it's
Dmbeen repressed over time, so
CI'm breathing
GSeduced by an excuse that could
F Cnot be made but I'm speaking

[Verse]
DThere's a phone with a number
Dmthat I try not to call but
Cit's ringing

F Cto myself but I'm singing
FIt's logic that's twisted and
Fm6 Cparaphrased and justified by a
Gdistance
F DmThat separates a bond, bound of
Cpersistence
 
 
[Chorus]
Am GYou gotta keep it even, even
when you're uptight
Am AEven when you're happy, even
when you're reaching for
DThat drawer in my house that I
Dm Ctry to keep closed but its open
