♫ Verse 1:
C majorC
CsusCsus            C majorC
I've gotten good at crying quietly
CsusCsus            C majorC
My mouth wide open, hoping you can't hear me
CsusCsus              C majorC
Holding my breath, but a lonely sound escapes
CsusCsus            C majorC
You kiss my shoulder out of worry


♫ Verse 2:
CsusCsus            C majorC
Several hours later, I finally wake up
CsusCsus         C majorC
To flowers in a red plastic cup, oh
   CsusCsus                 C majorC
You'd placed them on the kitchen table and left me to stare
    CsusCsus       C majorC
At the door you'd left unlocked

♫ Chorus:
        CsusCsus E minor 7Em7 Fadd9Fadd9
If you're gonna wear me down
       CsusCsus C majorC
Wear me down slowly
      CsusCsus E minor 7Em7 Fadd9Fadd9   Csus2Csus2
I know it'll all catch up with me
     C majorC
Eventually


♫ Verse 3:
CsusCsus                    C majorC
When you get home, you apologized, waiting for an "it's ok"
    CsusCsus           C majorC
But your little act of courage instead meets my disdain
  CsusCsus               C majorC
So I play the fiddle on the roof while you burned
CsusCsus           C majorC
Knowing full well we'll never learn


♫ Chorus:
       CsusCsus E minor 7Em7 Fadd9Fadd9
If I'm gonna wear you down
         CsusCsus C majorC
I'll wear you down slowly
         CsusCsus E minor 7Em7 Fadd9Fadd9  Csus2Csus2
But I know it'll all catch up with me
     C majorC
Eventually

♫ Bridge:
  Amadd9Amadd9   C majorC
Oh I stitch up the wound
    Amadd9Amadd9  C majorC
But it's too tired to heal
    E7sus4E7sus4 CsusCsus
It's unclear
        A minorAm   Csus2Csus2
Where we could go from here
