Key: Gm
Chorus:
Gm
We're so messy and complicated
Gm Dm
But I think "effortless" is overrated
Eb Gm
Find my way to you from miles apart
Dm7 Gm7
and take me back to where the feeling starts
Gm
Strung along by the ties that bind,
Gm Dm
We walk in sync without a care for timing
Eb Gm
Trace the arteries to find my heart
Dm7 Gm
And promise me that you will do no harm
Verse:
Gm
Oh, darling, I've been dreaming
Gm Dm7
That you would give me everything I need
Gm
Thought I had found the meaning
Gm Dm7
It felt a little clearer in my sleep
Pre-Chorus:
Eb
I went fishing with your grandpa
Gm Dm7 Gm
He taught me a lot about the way things sound when they leave my mouth
Eb Gm7
Now I'm waiting for any motion, caught up in notions
Dm
Maybe I'm the one who should move
Chorus:
Gm
We're so messy and complicated
Gm Dm
But I think "effortless" is overrated
Eb Gm
Find my way to you from miles apart
Dm7 Gm7
and take me back to where the feeling starts
Gm
Strung along by the ties that bind,
Gm Dm
We walk in sync without a care for timing
Eb Gm
Trace the arteries to find my heart
Dm7 Gm
And promise me that you will do no harm
Verse 2:
Gm
Oh, darling, don't mistake me
Gm Dm7
Corporeality suits me just fine
Gm
I know you'll never break me (Never break me)
Dm7
You hold the organs keeping me alive
Pre-Chorus 2:
Eb
Now make the first incision
Gm Dm7 Gm
Peel back the dermal layer, don't lose hope when the secrets show
Eb
Oh, please, predict the perfect puncture
Gm7 Dm
A painless operation's easy come, easy go
Chorus 2:
Gm
We're so messy and complicated
Gm Dm
But I think "effortless" is overrated
Eb Gm
Find my way to you from miles apart
Dm7 Gm
and take me back to where the feeling starts
Gm
Wet and writhing, I'm supine for you
Dm Gm
You sew my sutures up and I adore you
Eb Gm
Urgent care is such a dying art
Dm7 Gm
So promise me that you will do no harm
Post-Chorus:
Gm Dm7
I want for the thrill (Can we stay a little bit longer, just to say so )
Gm Dm7
So do what you will (Can we get a little bit stronger, just to let go )
Gm Dm7
My heart rate is still (The mysteries of cardiology)
Gm Dm7
So do what you will (Elusive as they weave into the scene)
Gm Dm7
I want for the thrill (Should we laugh a little bit louder? Can we go back )
Gm Dm7
So do what you will (Should we plan or should we flounder, on the main track )
Gm Dm7
My heart rate is still (The mysteries allow the heart to beat)
Gm Dm7
So do what you will (Imperatively, youβre the best of me)
Outro:
Gm
Da-da-da, da-da, da
Gm
Da, da-da, da
Dm7
Da-da-da, da-da, da
Gm
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-oh, oh
Dm7
Oh, oh (The answer is yes)
