will lay and listen

not the same
as going through  
C#m
   the present joy
and all it took
to come to this

would be pretending
E
  They took my words and
wrote them off as passing

to keep m writing

Verse 4:
E
  Some people say I'm 
corny or I'm morbid

was touching I was tragic
A
One man's magic 
             E
is another's plastic
E
  Well which one is it?
Am I sweetness? 
Am I sickness?
C#m
   If I say both you will
say I lack commitment
