Verse 1:
D/F#
Your dog just bit me, but I know he didn't mean it
A/E
Why does every good intention tend to need me to believe it?
D/F#
You called and lit me up, then told me to stay seated
A/E
Always asking me our ending, interrupting to complete it
Chorus:
Em
And 'cause you tell yourself this story more than half the time
Bm
You've got the rest of us in orbit like your satellites
C/G
And while I'm churning at a rate that turns the years to light
Bm*
You aren't watching as I bandage up another bitе
Em
And I make such a deal of using words syllabically
Bm
So you're too busy sounding out to shufflе after me
C/G
There's nothing you like less than knowing someone's past your grip
Post-Chorus:
Bm*
You put me into space, then hate me when I ask for it
Bm*
You put me into space, then hate me when I ask for it
Verse 2:
D/F#
You make a living sweeping floors and speaking softly
A/E
All the while your spiral galaxy is rising 'til it's Godly
D/F#
Metamorphosing from a person to a beacon
A/E
You are standing, diagnosingm, I'm just waiting to repeat it
Chorus:
Em
And 'cause you tell yourself this story more than half the time
Bm
You've got the rest of us in orbit like your satellites
C/G
And while I'm churning at a rate that turns the years to light
Bm*
You aren't watching as I bandage up another bitе
Em
And I make such a deal of using words syllabically
Bm
So you're too busy sounding out to shufflе after me
C/G
There's nothing you like less than knowing someone's past your grip
Post-Chorus:
Bm*
You put me into space, then hate me when I ask for it
Bm*
You put me into space, then hate me when I ask for it
