Verse 1:

G+G  C majorC
you know just how to
G+G  C majorC
brew your coffee so
G+G   C majorC          E minorEm
every flavour shows its teeth
G+G        C majorC
You take your time with each
G+G     C majorC
section of my spine babe,
G+G       C majorC
you really know just how to
E minorEm
please

G+G     C majorC
And you’re meticulous with
G+G   C majorC
every grocery list.
G+G      C majorC         E minorEm
You’ve got a garden glowing green


Pre-Chorus:

C majorC
I smile silently you’re staring back at me, say
A minorAm
tell me what you thinking for a
D7D7
minute


Chorus:

 G+G         D MajorD
But I don’t want to tell you why I
E minorEm      C majorC
don’t cry any more
G+G        D MajorD
how many nights I’ve spent clutching my
E minorEm        C majorC
knees against the floor I buy
G+G         D MajorD
pre-cooked rice
E minorEm        C majorC    A minorAm   D7D7
and I’m not that nice to myself
G+G         D MajorD
I don’t want to show you what it’s
E minorEm        C majorC
like behind my smile
G+G         D MajorD
so I’ll just keep my thoughts at bay and
E minorEm      C majorC
kiss you for awhile let’s
G+G     C majorC
keep our lips busy
G+G     C majorC
get a little dizzier
G+G     C majorC       A minorAm
blurring this illusion that I built for you
D7D7        G+G   C majorC  G+G
don’t shatter it now
  C majorC       G+G   C majorC G+G C majorC
don’t shatter it now

Verse 2:

G+G     C majorC
You get up early
G+G     C majorC
you go on runs
  G+G        C majorC
6 miles through the city
G+G     C majorC
just for fun

G+G     C majorC
you revel in the stillness of the
G+G     C majorC
morning
A minorAm
invite me to the desert without
D7D7
any sort of warning

G+G     C majorC    G+G  C majorC
I take my pills at 11
G+G     C majorC    G+G   C majorC
get out of bed at quarter to
G+G       C majorC
can’t seem to find where I
G+G         C majorC
misplaced my peace of mind but
A minorAm               D7D7
believe it or not this is how I heal


Chorus:

 G+G         D MajorD
But I don’t want to tell you why I
E minorEm      C majorC
don’t cry any more
G+G        D MajorD
how many nights I’ve spent clutching my
E minorEm        C majorC
knees against the floor I buy
G+G         D MajorD
pre-cooked rice
E minorEm        C majorC    A minorAm   D7D7
and I’m not that nice to myself
G+G         D MajorD
I don’t want to show you what it’s
E minorEm        C majorC
like behind my smile
G+G         D MajorD
so I’ll just keep my thoughts at bay and
E minorEm      C majorC
kiss you for awhile let’s
G+G     C majorC
keep our lips busy
G+G     C majorC
get a little dizzier
G+G     C majorC       A minorAm
blurring this illusion that I built for you
D7D7        G+G   C majorC  G+G
don’t shatter it now
   C majorC      G+G   C majorC G+G C majorC
don’t shatter it now


Bridge:

G+G       C majorC
you can buy me Jade, we can
G+G    C majorC
 hope it grows but
A minorAm
today I’m still so petrified
A minorAm
to genuinely show you who I
D7D7
am, but I’ll eat your home-made jam, oh


Outro:

G+G         D MajorD
I don’t want to cry for you
    E minorEm      C majorC
I won’t open up that door
G+G         D MajorD
so I’ll just get my things and drive
E minorEm       C majorC
away just like before, I’ll try to
G+G         D MajorD
keep myself busy
E minorEm       C majorC
 stop getting dizzier
A minorAm
hide behind this cold aloof illusion
C majorC               D7D7
so for the sake of settling confusion
      G+G
it’s over now
