A# F
Okay, I'm finished now
Fm Eb
And I kept my faith for long enough
Ebm A#
And I hope I'm old and fairly sober
F7 Ebmaj7
If I'm let down
A# F
Maybe you keep me around
Fm Eb Ebm
For the constant affirmations
A#
While I scrounge for understanding
F7 Ebmaj7
And fall out
Eb
I'll let you win and I'll let you tie
A# F
The ribbon to my hair
Eb
Just so that we could come back to this
A# F
If we really cared
Eb
The morning gates stay open
A# F
If you had a thought that I'd be there
Ebmaj7
Oh, I'd be there
A# F Fm Eb
Ooh, ooh
Ebm A# F Eb
Ooh
A# F
Know we could use a break
Fm Eb Ebm
Because I can't feel my feet
A#
Carried you all the way upstairs
F Ebmaj7 D
So you can sleep and I can think
G Bm C
Stand guard when I am near
G Bm C
Clinging on to everything you fear
G B7 Cm
Keeping mе close while you hold me out and say
D D7
"I don't lovе you that way"
G Bm C
Harbor myself away from everyone else
G Bm
I'm half-awake and intimate
C
Eyes closed and I'll commit
G B7
What I wish I had with you
Cm
I'll pretend until it's true
D D7 D
I don't love you that way
G Bm C
Swallow the pill, it's only fair that I hear
G Bm C
Know myself better than I have in years
G B7 Cm
I don't know why I have to defend what I feel
D
I try
G Bm C
Stand your guard when I am near
G Bm C
Loathe me until you're reminded of the deal
G B7 Cm
One of us knows when you hold me out and say
D6 D G
You don't love me that way
Bm C
G Bm C
