B
Left in the corner collecting dust
Gb
Patiently waiting while my fingers rust
       E
I was locked in the coffin case
    A
Not even on display
B
As you fret my frets decay
    Gb
You pick up your other and you strum away
  E
I listen from the other room
       A         A6     A7
Try to pull you out of tune

G                                 D
Thought I was everything you need
D                                   A     G
Thought at least you'd want to see this through
G                           D
I was caught in between
D                         A   G
Giving up and calling out to you
G
Am I coming through?

D                   Gb
Now you don't even write the chords down
Gb              G          B D*        Bb D
You don't even play me anyhow, anymore
D             Gb
Now you just keep cranking them out
Gb            G            B D*
Like you're trying to numb yourself
      A        A6            A7
With all this work but it's just not working out

B
George and his lover they gently weep
    Gb
But I don't evеn get to breathe
   E
I hardly makе a sound
         A
And I'm totally unwound, it's like
B
All my flaws have become the things
      Gb
That make you want to destroy something
         E
And the reasons you started are lost
              A
Now that the feeling has worn off

Thought I was everything you need
D                                   A     G
Thought at least you'd want to see this through
G                     D
Your voice follows me
D                      A  G
You sing perfectly out of tune
G                      D
I thought we had more time
D                             A  G
I thought I could make it up somehow
G                                D
I try to weave between the lines
D                    A  G
I try to turn myself up loud
G
Can you hear me now?
