[Verse]
D G6add9
Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore
D G6add9
And I'm young & I'm strong But I feel old & tired, overfired.
D G6add9
And I've been poked & stoked, it's all smoke, there's no more fire
A
Only desire
Em7
For you, whoever you are
D
For you, whoever you are
G6add9
You say my time here has been some sort of joke
D G6add9
That I've been messing around some sort of incubating period
D Gsus2
For when I really come around I'm cracking up
Em7
And you have no idea
Gsus2 D
No idea how it feels to be on your own
Gsus2 D
In your own home with the fucking phone
Gsus2
And the mother of gloom
D
In your bedroom
Gsus2
Standing over your head
Em7 D
With her hand in your head, with her hand in your head
Gsus2 D
I will not pretend I will not put on a smile
Gsus2 A
I will not say I'm all right for you when all I wanted was to be good
Gsus2 D
To do everything in truth, to do everything in truth
D G6add9
oh I wish, I wish, I wish I was born a man
D Gsus2
so I could learn how to stand up for myself
D
like those guys with guitars
Gsus2
I've been watching in bars
D Gsus2
who've been stamping their feet to a different beat
Em7 D
to a different beat, to a different beat
Gsus2 D
I will not pretend I will not put on a smile
Gsus2 A
I will not say I'm all right for you when all I wanted was to be good
Gsus2 D
To do everything in truth, to do everything in truth
Gsus2
you bloody motherfucking asshole
D
you bloody motherfucking asshole
Gsus2
you bloody motherfucking asshole
D
you bloody motherfucking asshole
Gsus2
you bloody motherfucking asshole
D
you bloody
Gsus2 D
I will not pretend I will not put on a smile
Gsus2
I will not say I'm all right for you,
A
for you, whoever you are
Gsus2
for you, whoever you are
D
for you, whoever you are
