G G
thousands , no millions of hours
G D
we’ve been skirting around this whole subject
D Dsus4 D G
like children stuck in a museum .

G

G
and i’m dry now .
G G
my mouth will not speak , i’m weary and weak
D Dsus4 D G
and i only wanted to see you again .

D G G
if that’s unfair , just let me know ,
D G G
just write it down , and then i’ll go .

C
but you skate around my human skin
Cm
an apple where your throat begins
G G
just say . . .
D
just tell the stars to give a sign ,
D
put it in a bottle . . .
D
say you’re mine .

G G G G

G G
and it’s better , better than music ,
G D
better than words to be with you
D Dsus4 D G
but better that we’re apart .

G

G
can’t you feel it?
G G D
it’s taken me over , left me for dead like ophelia .
D Dsus4 D G
who knew a prince and survived?

D G G
and so i ask in every line
D G G
that i might learn of your design

C
but you skate around my human skin
Cm
an apple where your throat begins
G G
just say . . .
D
just tell the stars to give a sign ,
D
put it in a bottle . . .
D
say you’re mine .
