intro – Am F C E x2

Am E F x2

Am
miss you terribly already ,

F
miss the space between your eyelids ,

C
where i’d stare through awkward sentences

E
and avoid through awkward silence

Am
miss your teeth when they chatter ,

F
when we smoked out in my garden

C
when we couldn’t sleep for all the heat ,

E
soft talk began to harden .

Am
miss your small hands in the palm of mine

F
the fact they’re good at making ,

C
miss your sitting up incessantly ,

E Am F
and the fact you’re always waking in the ni – – – – – – ght ,

F

Am E F

miss your teeth dug in my shoulder ,
as we rolled in early morning ,
miss your arm dying beneath me ,
as i lay there simply yawning

please forget me , you were right dear ,
i Am cold and self – involved ,
and though i’ll miss you , recent lover
i Am weak and therefore fold

get distracted by my music ,
think of nothing else but art
i’ll write my loneliness in poems ,
if i can just think how to start

dot my i’s with eyebrow pencils ,
close my eyelids , hide my eyes ,
i’ll be idle in my ideals ,
think of nothing else but i .

i , and i

C

F
you can forget about mine
