Frightened Rabbit - Poke

capo on 2nd fret .

verse
D
poke at my iris

Em
why cant i cry about this

G D
maybe there is something that you

Em
know that i dont . . .

i might never catch a mouse and present it in my mouth
and make you feel you’re with someone who deserves to be with you .

why won’t our love keel over as it chokes on a bone?
we can mourn its passing and then bury it in snow .

or should we kick its cunt in and watch as it dies from bleeding .
if you don’t want to be with me just say and i will go .

chorus :
G Em/D x4

verse 2 :
D
well we can change our partners

Em
this is a progressive dance
G D
but remember it was me who dragged you up to the

Em
sweaty floor .

well this has been a reel
i’ve got shin – splints and a stench from weed
but like a drunken night it’s the best bits that are coloured in

should look through some old photos i adored you in every one of those .
if someone took a picture of us now they’d need to be told that we had ever clung on
and maybe not with arms at night .
i’d say she was his sister but she doesn’t have his nose .

and now we’re unrelated and rid of all the shit we hated ,
but i hate when i feel like this and i never hated you .

chorus :
G Em/Dx4
