I know what is going through your head

And I won’t pretend that I don’t think it’s funny

Coz I been there
        Dm             Am              C
And I’m glad that I am sitting here instead

To when I was a monkey
G              Am
Ask her how it feels to feel
    F              C
His eyes no longer on me
      G
Jacob makes it simple

If I loved you
          F
You never saw me

          C
So you go with her, now you told me
Dm              Am                C
Fold away the screen, sit out the silence
    Dm                   Am              C
The kitchen fridge won’t let me have it all

And the darkness
Dm           Am           C
Suitably obstructed by appliance
Dm              Am           F
Privilege comes beating, now beating down the door
            C
She’s so deserving of love
   Dm             Am             C
I hate that I am standing in the way
Dm                Am           C
Hate that I can’t celebrate a sister

So deserving
Dm              Am               C
Someone who is no doubt just the same
   Dm          Am         F
As every other creature, looking to be seen
