Capo 2
IntroCEmDCEmDCEmDDCEmGVerse 1CEm
You wait for a silence
GD
I wait for a word
CEm
Lying next to your frame
GD
Girl unobserved
CEm
You change your position
GD
You're changing me
CEm
Casting these shadows
DG
Where they shouldn't be
Pre-ChorusCEm
We're interrupted
GD
By the heat of the sun
CEm
Trying to prevent
GD
What's already begun
CEm
You're just a body
GD
I can smell your skin
CEm
And when I feel it
DG
You're wearing thin
ChorusEmCD
But I've got a plan
DEm
Why don't you be the artist
CG
And make me out of clay?
DEm
Why don't you be the writer
CG
Decide the words I say?
EmG
Cause I'd rather pretend
DEm
I'll still be there at the end
CEm
Only it's too hard to ask
DG
Won't you try to help me?
Verse 2CEm
Sat on your sofa
GD
It's all broken springs

Those violin strings

I try out a smile

And I aim it at you
CEm
You must have missed it
DG
You always do
