E MajorE

E MajorE          F# minorF#m
Poke at my iris, why can't I cry about this?
A augmentedA        E/B        BB
Maybe there is something that you know that I don't?

E MajorE             F# minorF#m
We adopt a brand new language, communicate through pursed lips,
A augmentedA       E/B    BB
You try not to put on any sexy clothes or graces.

E MajorE                F# minorF#m
I might never catch a mouse and present it in my mouth
A augmentedA            E/B       BB
And make you feel you're with someone who deserves to be with you.

E MajorE                   F# minorF#m
But there's one thing we've got going and it's the only thing worth knowing.
     A augmentedA        E/B       BB
It's got lots to do with magnets and the pull of the moon.

E MajorE               F# minorF#m
Why won't our love keel over as it chokes on a bone?
A augmentedA         E/B       BB
We can mourn its passing and then bury it in snow.

E MajorE               F# minorF#m
Or should we kick its cunt in and watch as it dies from bleeding.
  A augmentedA        E/B       BB
If you don't want to be with me just say and I will go.

A augmentedA    F# minorF#m    C# minorC#m   x4

E MajorE

E MajorE                 F# minorF#m
Well we can change our partners this is a progressive dance,
  A augmentedA        E/B        BB
But remember it was me who dragged you up to the sweaty floor

E MajorE
Well this has been a reel
     F# minorF#m
I've got shin-splints and a stitch from weed(?)
   A augmentedA       E/B           BB
But like a drunken night it's the best bits that are coloured in

E MajorE               F# minorF#m
Should look through some old photos I adored you in every one of those.
  A augmentedA       E/B      BB
If someone took a picture of us now they'd need to be told that we

E MajorE           F# minorF#m
Had ever clung and tied a navy knot with arms at night
  A augmentedA        E/B      BB
I'd say she was his sister but she doesn't have his nose.

E MajorE              F# minorF#m
And now we're unrelated and rid of all the shit we hated,
  A augmentedA       E/B         BB
But I hate when I feel like this and I never hated you.


A augmentedA    F# minorF#m    C# minorC#m   x4
