Bb             Bbmaj7
She polished every piece of silverware
Eb
Straightened all the kitchen chairs
       Bb                Bbmaj7           Eb
Saying I'm so close, but I'm not there yet
    Bb                Bbmaj7
She gets her grief to hide behind
Eb
Napkin rings and vacuum lines
         Bb                  Bbmaj7         Eb
He's not coming home but the table's all set

[Pre-chorus]
Cm7                         Eb
Sometimes life is such a disaster
Cm7                                    Eb
And until we find the peace that we're after


[Chorus]
Bb  Bbmaj7
Oh, we all cope
Eb
Everybody's got their ways
       Bb       Bbmaj7    Eb
I know I've got mine


[Verse 2]
       Bb             Bbmaj7
At the back of Monday's matinee
Eb
There's a man with failure on his face
       Bb                 Bbmaj7          Eb
Saying I'm so close, it's like a joke now
           Bb          Bbmaj7
He's got a ticket stub in his suit
         Eb
For each dead end job interview
            Bb                   Bbmaj7            Eb
Like he's collecting reasons for laughing out loud


[Pre-chorus]
         Cm7                             Eb
You know any minute, things could get better
        Cm7                      Eb
And for now we hold our pieces together


[Chorus]
Bb  Bbmaj7
Oh, we all cope
Eb
Everybody's got their ways
            Bb       Bbmaj7    Eb
Yeah I know I've got mine
Bb      Bbmaj7
Oh, the blinds are closed
       Eb
You're doing anything it takes
           Bb        Bbmaj7 Eb
To get you through tonight
Cm7             Eb
We all need hope
Cm7             Eb    F
And until we're there
   Bb
We cope


[Bridge]
      Gm               Eb
We're just seconds from
       Bb          Gm
Sunrise
                 Eb
We're holding on
                  Bb
Through dark skies
  D          Gm    Bb
Until we feel that light
             Bbmaj7 Eb
Yeah, we all cope

[Chorus]

Bb      Bbmaj7
Oh, the blinds are closed
       Eb
You're doing anything it takes
           Bb          Bbmaj7 Eb
To get you through tonight
Cm7             Eb
We all need hope
Cm7             Eb     F
And until we're there
   Bb       Eb
We cope


[Outro]

             Bb             Bbmaj7
She polished every piece of silverware
Eb
Straighten all the kitchen chairs
       Bb                Bbmaj7           Eb
Saying I'm so close, but I'm not there yet
