 Riff 1: Dm, C, Em
 
 Dm                         C          Em 
 She says it helps with the lights out 
     Dm                                C      Em 
 Her rabid glow is like braille to the night. 
 Dm                            C       Em 
 She swears I'm a slave to the details 
              Dm                     F                 C Em 
 But if your life is such a big joke, why should I care? 
 
      Dm                                                          C Em 
 The clock is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it eight. 
          Dm                        
 So that you two can take some time,
                                 C Em 
 Teach each other to reciprocate. 
 
 Dm                            F                        C          Em 
 She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid gloves 
     Dm                    F                     C      Em 
 But she doesn't know that I left my urge in the icebox 
 Dm         F                      C      Em 
 She swears  I'm just prey to the female, 
           Dm                      
 Well then hook me up and throw me,
       F                               C  Em 
 Baby cakes, 'cause I like to get hooked. 
 
 
      Dm                                                          C Em 
 The clock is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it eight. 
          Dm                     
 All the people that you've loved
                                        C   Em 
 They're all bound to leave some keepsakes. 
           Dm                    
 I've been swinging all the time,
                                 C  Em 
 Think it's time to learn your way. 
          Dm                                             C Em 
 Picture you and me together in the jungle it would be ok. 
 
      Dm                F                          C     Em 
 I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night 
         Dm             F         C            Em 
 That is supposing that you don't sleep tonight
 
 F Am C                            F      
    It's like learning a new a language
                             Am C 
 Helps me catch up on my mime 
                              F          
 If you don't bring up those lonely parts
                       Am  C 
 This could be a good time 
                           F      
 It's like learning a new language
 
                  Am C 
 You come here to me 
                      F                            
 We'll collect those lonely parts and set them down
                  Am C Em F 
 You come here to me 
 
 (Am C Em F) 
     
 Am       C                  Em          
 She says brief things, her love's a pony
     F               
 My love's subliminal
 
 Am       C                  Em
