intro : Dm G C C/B Am G F G

F
well i held you like a lover
G C C/B Am G
happy hands , your elbow in the appropriate place
F
and we ignored our others’
G C C/B Am G
happy plans for that delicate look upon your face

F
our bodies moved and hardened
G
hurting parts of your garden
C C/B
with no room for a pardon
Am G F G
in a place where no one knows what we have done

Dm G
do you come
C C/B Am G
together ever with him?
Dm G
and is he dark enough?
C C/B Am G
enough to see your light?
Dm G
and do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
C C/B Am G
do you miss my smell?
Dm G
and is he bold enough to take you on?
C C/B Am G
do you feel like you belong?
F G
and does he drive you wild?
C C/B Am G
or just mildly free?
F G
what about me?

F
well you held me like a lover
G
sweaty hands
C C/B Am G
and my foot in the appropriate place
F G
we use cushions to cover happy glands
C C/B Am G
in the mild issue of our disgrace

F
our minds pressed and guarded
G
while our flesh disregarded
C C/B Am
the lack of space for the light – hearted
G F G
in the boon that beats our drum

F
well i know i make you cry
G
and i know sometimes you wanna die
C C/B Am G
but do you really feel alive without me?
F
if so , be free
G
if not , leave him for me
C C/B Am G
before one of us has accidental babies
F G
for we are in love

Dm G
do you come
C C/B Am G
together ever with him?
Dm G
and is he dark enough?
C C/B Am G
enough to see your light?
Dm G
and do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
C C/B Am G
do you miss my smell?
Dm G
and is he bold enough to take you on?
C C/B Am G
do you feel like you belong?
F G
and does he drive you wild?
C C/B Am G
or just mildly free?
F
what about me?
G
what about me?
