[Verse 1]
Dm As we were talking outside, it was cold Bb Gm We were shivering, yet warmed by the subject matter Dm “My wife is in the next room. We’ve been having troubles, you know Bb Gm Please, don’t tell her or anyone, but I need to talk to somebody” Dm You said, “Wouldn’t it be a shame if I knew how great Bb I was five minutes before I died? Gm I’d be filled with such regret before Dm I took my last breath” And I said, “You’re willing to tell me this now, Bb Gm and you’re not gonna to die any time soon” Dm And I said, “I haven’t been eating chicken or meat or anything” Bb Gm And you said, “Yes, but you’ve been wearing leather”, Dm and laughed and said, “We’re at the top of the food chain, Bb Gm and yes, you’re still a fine woman” And I cringed
[Chorus 1]
D5 Csus2 Gm I was hoping, I was hoping we could heal each other D5 Csus2 Gm I was hoping, I was hoping we could be raw together

[Verse 2]
Dm We left the restaurant where the head waiter, in his 60s, Bb Gm said “Goodbye, sir Thank you for your business, sir Dm You’re successful and established, sir Bb Gm And we like the frequency with which you dine here, sir… and your money” Dm And when I walked by, they said, “Thank you too, dear” Bb Gm I was all pigtails and cords, and there was a day when Dm I would’ve said something like, “Hey, dude, I could buy and sell this place, Bb Gm so kiss it” I too once thought I was owed something
[Chorus 2]
D5 Csus2 Gm I was hoping, I was hoping we could challenge each other D5 Csus2 Gm I was hoping, I was hoping we could crack each other up
[Verse 3]
Dm Dm I too thought that, when proved wrong, I lost somehow Dm Dm And I too once thought life was cruel, Dm and it’s a cycle, really You think I’m withdrawing and guilt-tripping you Bb Gm I think you’re insensitive, and I don’t feel heard Dm And I said, “Do you believe we are fundamentally judgmental, Bb Gm Dm fundamentally evil?”, and you said, “Yes” Bb I said, “I don’t believe in revenge, in right or wrong, good or bad” Gm You said, “Well, what about that man that I saw handcuffed Dm in the emergency room, bleeding after beating his kid, Bb Gm and she threw a shoe at his head? I think what he did was wrong Dm and I would’ve had a hard time feeling compassion for him” Bb Gm I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged
[Chorus 3]
D5 Csus2 Gm I was hoping, I was hoping we could dance together D5 Csus2 Gm I was hoping, I was hoping we could be creamy together
