A#5 F5
I caught you caterwauling, giving grief
G5 Dm
thought you were cannon-balling after me
A7 F5 A7 A#5
I let your actions speak for themselves
C Dm
and wished you well
A#5 F5
but you're a mirror I cannot avoid
G5 Dm
strung out and jittery and paranoid
A7 F5 A7 A#5
a leaky battery that can't keep charged
C G5 A#5 C5
get in the car
F5 Dm
and say what you mean
A#5 C5 F5
explain yourself to me
G5 Dm C Dsus4-Am7-Gsus4
and I'll try not to judge you more than you would
F5 Dm
let me help
A#5 C5 F5
I promise not to tell
G5 Dm C Em6-Embb5
like anyone's asking or anyone should
Break(Verse): A#5, F5, G5, Dm, A7, F5 A7 A#5, C, Dm
A#5 F5
first time I met you I was full of fear
G5 Dm
knew that eventually you'd disappear
A7 F5 A7 A#5
just when I needed you, you'd to burn to smoke
C G5 A#5 C5
and off you go
F5 Dm
just come back
A#5 C5 F5
and peel away the mask
G5 Dm C Dsus4-Am7-Gsus4
lay here beside me and open your eyes
F5 Dm
take it back
A#5 C5 F5
your dignity, your tact
G5 Dm C Em6-Embb5
turn back to the person you tried to let die
A#5 F5
I caught you nesting with your analog
G5 Dm
glassy eyed from kissing poison frogs
A7 F5 A7 A#5
becoming infinite against his couch
C G5 A#5 C5
open your mouth
F5 Dm
say the words
A#5 C5 F5
you used to wish you heard
G5 Dm C Dsus4-Am7-Gsus4
back when you focused enough to be good
F5 Dm
and if you're gone
A#5 C5 F5
an endless false alarm
G5 Dm C Dsus4-Am7-Gsus4
just remember I loved you as long as I could
Outro(Verse): A#5, F5, G5, Dm, A7, F5 A7 A#5, C, Dm
