Bm G
you slide out at night to show yourself
E
you mean to hang yourself on the wall
fis Bm
with the hems you call your friends .
G
you’ve memorized a thousand lines and
E
kissed a thousand guys but none packed
fis
more than wood .

G D
and still you wake up , the taste of the
C G A G
night before has grown somehow .
D
you memorized your makeup , you’re free from
C G A Asus4 A G * A Asus4 A G * A Asus4 A
their eyes and all they laugh about .

Bm G
sailboats that never float and lids of lead
E
that hold your ego down . what’s it take
fis Bm G
to bend the lens? well as you can see i
E fis D
really know but never can amend the trend
A G
towards the rocks wielding the knives
D
beneath your breast and all the the waves
A G
that never break within our sight . so come on
A
treat me right .

instrumental
Bm G E – Fm ( 2x )

G D
if you could keep him you’d dub him
C G A G
“the rock what aced ’em two to one”
D
but the powder from your empty boxes
C G A G
was ground from your whole empty youth .
D
and so you wake up , the taste of the
C G A G
night before has grown somehow .
D
you take off your makeup , and you’re free
C G A Asus4 A G * A Asus4 A G * A Asus4 A
from their eyes and all they laugh about .
