Courts - Keep It Even

From "Human Performances" (2016)
          D                  
There's a drawer in my house 
      Dm                    
that I try to keep closed but
     C
it's open
         G                 
There's a commitment that I 
       F                   
made to be somewhere but 
 C
it's broken
  F              Fm6         
An oblique mantra in my head, 
  C                       G
it lies there on the floor 
like a bed that would
F               Dm             
Collapse like a trap, if it was
C
spoken


[Chorus]
Am                G
You gotta keep it even, even 
when you're uptight
Am               A
Even when you're happy, even 
when you're reaching for some
D                           
Line I've had in mind, it's 
      Dm                   
been repressed over time, so
    C
I'm breathing
 G                            
Seduced by an excuse that could
F                   C
not be made but I'm speaking


[Instrumental]
Am  Am  C   C
G   F   C   C
Am  Am  G   G
Am  Am  A   A


[Verse]
         D                   
There's a phone with a number 
      Dm                     
that I try not to call but 
 C
it's ringing
   G                          
For someone I've tried to keep 
F                 C
to myself but I'm singing
    F                        
It's logic that's twisted and 
Fm6             C             
paraphrased and justified by a
G
distance
    F           Dm            
That separates a bond, bound of
   C
persistence


[Chorus]
Am                G
You gotta keep it even, even 
when you're uptight
Am               A
Even when you're happy, even 
when you're reaching for
    D                         
That drawer in my house that I 
Dm                         C
try to keep closed but its open
