Verse 1:
Bb Dm
How your breath was blind when you climbed into the water
F C
and you swear you saw your dead mother's face
Bb Dm
she looked right back at you and didn't even smile
F C
neither offering you acknowledgement or praise
Verse 2:
Bb Dm
and I don't know the outcome
F
but I am sure it won't be good
C
how could it be when it never is
Bb Dm
your little prince could be promoted
F
and you wouldn't even notice
C
but I can tell you this
Chorus:
Bb Dm
I don't want to hear your reasons
F C
I have no interest in your plans
Bb Dm
this thing of ours that you are leaving
F C
I will see through till the end.
Verse 3:
Bb
Count the cigarette butts on the doorstep
Dm
the poems unread on the chair
F
the portraits you glare at and no one to dance with
C
a closet of clothes you don't wear
Bb
but I'd be caught dead in your skin
Dm
I'd offer you wagers I know I can't win
F
while I know you're too wise to be ever convinced
C
I love you I love you I swear
Chorus:
Bb Dm
I don't want to hear your reasons
F C
I have no interest in your plans
Bb Dm
this thing of ours that you are leaving
F C
I will see through till the end.
Verse 4:
Bb Dm
Now don't act all embarrassed or say that you're sorry
F C
save your thin moral stance
Bb Dm
act like some parrot and go and join the army
F C
fuck it, go and join the army with them
whoa oh oh
[Insturmental]
Bm Dm F C
Bridge:
Bb Dm
if it be my lot to be used and forgot, I accept I accept I accept
F C
if it be my lot to be bled then forgot, I accept I accept I accept
Outro:
Bb Dm
I don't want to hear your reasons
F C
I have no interest in your plans
