Chords with lyrics
G+G
You carry the beach in your way too short hair
D MajorD
That you shaved off last week cause you freaked and got scared
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
That when it's longer, you remind me of her
G+G
So you offered it up with what passed for authority,
D MajorD
A augmentedA strict sort of challenge that you directed straight at me
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
You said "forget her, I don't care what you two were"
C majorC
So it's a trick on your ego
D MajorD
A augmentedA two-step off tempo
E minorEm
A augmentedA solid gold bracelet
G+G
Under lights in a window
D MajorD G+G
In some shopping mall where I never go
G+G
You play coy and count tiles, drag your toes through the water
D MajorD
Raise your eyes, bite your lip and my mind's in the gutter
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
You move at me and take my face in your hands
G+G
I feel light bulbs explode and a fire crack thunder sends
D MajorD
The slow seismic shift, the sprawling cloud cover
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
But when we're finished I feel awful again
C majorC
So it's the same sorry story
D MajorD
Just the cast changes nightly
E minorEm
It skips like a record
G+G
But it glows like a movie
D MajorD G+G
You're the country sky that I never see
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
Shake in your voice makes me feel empty and ugly
D MajorD C majorC
All scattered anger like a windstorm howling violently
C majorC
And I wanna fade out
D MajorD
And wake up somewhere else
G+G
Where no face is familiar
C majorC
And I'm left by myself
C majorC
To keep plugging away
D MajorD
On my own wasted time
G+G C majorC
To eat badly and spend all my money and write
C majorC
To not feel too guilty
D MajorD
To be tired at night
G+G
Since I'm not fixing things here
C majorC
I'll leave them behind
D MajorD G+G
So you make your decision cause I'm through making mine
G+G
Now I walk where the street swallows light like it's water
D MajorD
I see the slant of your smirk on every kid at the corner
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
But if you called, I'd never know what to say
C majorC D MajorD
So I just hope you never will
G+G
