Bb
πΈ Verse:
Bb
I don't know my telephone number
But you kiss good and I'd like to
See you tomorrow
And I don't beg, I pay, I don't barter
And if we had a child I'd like a son,
Eb
Not a daughter
No she'd be just like you
Db
You know that would not do
πΈ Verse 2:
Bb
I'm no builder, I'm no gardener
I sing some songs, have a friend
Who's a photographer
There ain't no other language
I know how to speak
Some like their water shallow
Eb
And I like mine deep, so very, very deep
Db
Tied to the bottom
With a noose around my feet
πΈ Chorus:
Bb Cm Db
The clouds conspire
Gm Bb
Above my head
Cm Db
I overheard them
Gm
Say I wish he was dead
Bb Cm Db
Today the sunset
Gm
Oh it burned my eyes
Bb Cm Db Gm
And in the next room I hear someone cry

πΈ Verse 3:
Bb
I like to dress up like the jury
Eat like a king, to poke fun at clergy
To talk like dirt
To love you like tar
Eb
But never fall in too fast
With my north star
Db
While you pull your hair out
I buy the drinks at the bar
πΈ Chorus 2:
Bb Cm Db
The clouds conspire
Gm Bb
Above my head
Cm Db
I overheard them
Gm
Say I wish he was dead
Bb Cm Db
Today the sunset

Oh it burned my eyes
Bb Cm Db Gm
And in the next room I hear someone cry
