I touched you once too often

When I wiped away the jam
    D MajorD
Yes I called my fingerprints all night
   A augmentedA

The last time that I saw them

They were leafing through your hair

So I emptied out your drawer
  D MajorD        A7A7
A augmentedA hundred thousand fingerprints
    D MajorD       A7A7
They floated to the floor
       D MajorD
You know you hardly stopped to pick them up
    A augmentedA
No you don't care what you lose

Ah you don't even seem to know

Whose fingerprints are whose

You wanna throw confetti fingerprints
