A version for acoustic guitar without all the Guthrie-enhanced shoegazer effects
As nobody knows exactly what Liz is singing, I took generic lyrics from a Cocteau Twins Wiki
Intro C-Em-F-C-G-C
Verse1
E Em
It's an old game, my love:
F
When you can't have me, you want me
C G C
Because you know that you're not risking anything
Chorus
Em F
Intimacy is while we're in the same place
At the same time
C G
Dealing honestly with how we feel
Am
And who we really are
G Am
That's what grownups do
F C
That is mature thinking
Verse2
E Em
Well I'm still a junkie for it
F
It takes me out of my aloneness
C G C
But this relationship cannot sustain itself
Chorus
Em F
Intimacy is while we're in the same place
At the same time
C G
Dealing honestly with how we feel
Am
And who we really are
G Am
That's what grownups do
F Em
That is mature thinking
F
I just have to know
How to be in the process
C G C
Of creating things in a better way
Em
And it hurts, but it's a lie
F
That I can't handle it
C G C
I still have a world of me-ness to fulfill
Em
I still care about this planet
F Am
I am still connected to nature
G F
And to my dreams for myself
F
I have my friends
My family
I have myself
I still have me
F
I have my friends
My family
I have myself
C
I still have me
