BB
Left in the corner collecting dust
GbGb
Patiently waiting while my fingers rust
    E MajorE
I was locked in the coffin case
  A augmentedA
Not even on display
BB
As you fret my frets decay
  GbGb
You pick up your other and you strum away
 E MajorE
I listen from the other room
    A augmentedA     A major 6A6   A7A7
Try to pull you out of tune

G+G                 D MajorD

D MajorD                  A augmentedA   G+G
Thought at least you'd want to see this through
G+G              D MajorD
I was caught in between

Giving up and calling out to you

GbGb       G+G     BB D*    Bb majorBb D MajorD
You don't even play me anyhow, anymore
D MajorD       GbGb
Now you just keep cranking them out
GbGb      G+G      BB D*
Like you're trying to numb yourself
   A augmentedA    A major 6A6      A7A7
With all this work but it's just not working out

BB
George and his lover they gently weep
  GbGb
But I don't evеn get to breathe
  E MajorE
I hardly makе a sound
     A augmentedA
And I'm totally unwound, it's like

Your voice follows me
D MajorD           A augmentedA G+G
You sing perfectly out of tune
G+G           D MajorD
I thought we had more time
D MajorD               A augmentedA G+G
I thought I could make it up somehow
G+G                D MajorD
I try to weave between the lines

I try to turn myself up loud
G+G
