A E
Okay, I'm finished now
Em D
And I kept my faith for long enough
Dm A
And I hope I'm old and fairly sober
E7 Dmaj7
If I'm let down
A E
Maybe you keep me around
Em D Dm
For the constant affirmations
A
While I scrounge for understanding
E7 Dmaj7
And fall out
D
I'll let you win and I'll let you tie
A E
The ribbon to my hair
D
Just so that we could come back to this
A E
If we really cared
D
The morning gates stay open
A E
If you had a thought that I'd be there
Dmaj7
Oh, I'd be there
A E Em D
Ooh, ooh
Dm A E D
Ooh
A E
Know we could use a break
Em D Dm
Because I can't feel my feet
A
Carried you all the way upstairs
E Dmaj7 C#
So you can sleep and I can think
F# A#m B
Stand guard when I am near
F# A#m B
Clinging on to everything you fear
F# A#7 Bm
Keeping mе close while you hold me out and say
C# C#7
"I don't lovе you that way"
F# A#m B
Harbor myself away from everyone else
F# A#m
I'm half-awake and intimate
B
Eyes closed and I'll commit
F# A#7
What I wish I had with you
Bm
I'll pretend until it's true
C# C#7 C#
I don't love you that way
F# A#m B
Swallow the pill, it's only fair that I hear
F# A#m B
Know myself better than I have in years
F# A#7 Bm
I don't know why I have to defend what I feel
C#
I try
F# A#m B
Stand your guard when I am near
F# A#m B
Loathe me until you're reminded of the deal
F# A#7 Bm
One of us knows when you hold me out and say
C#6 C# F#
You don't love me that way
A#m B
F# A#m B
F# A#7 C#dim7 Bm
