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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



A       F#m       C#m      x4
