Intro:
E G#m F# B E G#m F#
Verse 1:
B
Shaking my teeth loose on your table
E
The dullest white squares I'll never be
B
Now that you've picked each one apart you can't
E
look at me
G#m
I'll probably lose you now
F#
But at least the ones I have still sparkle
Refrain:
B(hold)
Chorus:
E
Putting on your makeup everyday before he wakes up
G#m
So he could stomach your face now easier than he
F#
could without
Yeah this is love
This is all that you could want
B (hold)
Open equals heavier
E
Hold your hand out palm side up
Open, empty, light enough
G#m
Minutes all turn to months
This is one thing we have all learned
F#
Equations always make up a sum
But it doesn't add up
Verse 2:
(Repeat Verse 1 chords)
Signing up for that second semester
Because you won't marry me without the degree
Once I fix things up right you wont be so
embarrassed of me
But I'll never make it now
But at least looking in the mirror wont feel like
lying
Refrain:
E
Posing for your still visions
Acedemic postcard prisons
B
Raise your chin, love
E
Purged a poem I swore was finished
Heaping lines half chewed unconscious
B
Settle on a plot, chalk another loss
Stage set for
Chorus:
E
Breathing and choking on swallowed conversations
Clutching and crawling for constant validation
G#m
Still nailed in the ruins of corporate
co-dependence
Still stuck on the thought that you're the one
exception
F#
All the while the same
B
I'm worried that the purpose is
E
How I look, not how I lived
Let's get dolled up and play pretend
G#m
Cause nothing stays honest when
Every thought is cursed with intent
F#
A pulse covered in skin and words covered in lips
B
The taste of regret as it leaves your stomach
E
Coating your tongue with every noun
B E
Watery eyes the only thing that makes sense now
G#m
Spitting your insides out
Start over
F#
Start over
Start over
Start over
Start over
End on B.
There you go. (:
