Standard (EADGBE)

 Dear child, they're asking us to move

I watched her taking off her shoes

 (Let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in)

 I'm weary, I'm not quite rested yet

This could be obvious to you

 (Let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in)

 In this short time we've been setting up

(Chorus)

 I've been trying to reach you, but my extention chord

 wouldn't reach that far

 (Now you've lost your chance)

 I've been patiently waiting

 The indicator light is flashing on

 (Now you've lost you're chance)

(2nd verse)

 Dear sleeper you could've had the better bed

I loved to watch the way you grew

 We're out, we're out the door

We're out, we're out the door

 In this short time we've been setting up

(Chorus)

 I've been trying to reach you but your extension chord

 doesn't reach that far

 (Doesn't reach that far)

(Reach that far)

 I've been patiently waiting

 the indicator light is flashing on

 It's Flashing on

Flashing on

 In this coma, sleepless dancing

We've been trying now

 I've been trying to reach you but

 your extension cord wouldn't reach that far

 doesn't reach that far

reach that far

 I've been desperately waiting

 the indicator light is flashing off

 its flashing off

flashing off

 I've been trying to reach you but your extension cord

 wouldn't reach that far

 (wouldn't Reach that far)

(Reach that far)
