Emaj7
(Velveteen)
E [Verse 1]
B           F#
  I see you getting fit

E
  I can't make sense of it

B               F#
  At night, you roll up your jeans

E
  And pull on your velveteen

B                F#
  Tonight you're on the stairs

E
  What are you doing there?

B               F#
  Take off your lethargy

E                              B
  And down the bannister you slide
[Chorus]
    Emaj7
Who is she?

B            F#
   Because I know that it can't be me

B      Emaj7
   Who is she?

B            F#
   Because I know that it can't be me
[Verse 2]
B         F#
  A closetful of lace

E
  Acquired recently

B          F#
  Who am I to debase

E
  In this economy?

B          F#
  Is she a perfect ten?

E
  Have you found Christ again?

B                 F#
  You tell me you don't have the time

    E                           B
To cop to it and vanish in the night
[Chorus]
    Emaj7
Who is she?

   Because I know that it can't be me

B      Emaj7
   Who is she?

[Bridge]
                     F#                   E
You fell away and I know how it all boils down

         G#m
You hesitate, maintain charade

       E                       F#      A   F# A F#
And I fall to the bottle, the bottom again

A            F#              A
  We used to tell each other everything

              F#               A
And now we're passing ships in night

           F#              A            F# A
We used to tell each other all the lies

         F#             A
And in a fairly civil way

         F#                    B
Whatever gets you through the night
[Chorus]
    Emaj7
Who is she?

   Because I know that it can't be me

B      Emaj7
   Who is she?

B            F#                    B
   Because I know that it can't be me

    G#m   F#
Who is she?

         F#                    B
'Cause I know that it can't be   me

  Emaj7                 B
I know that it can't be me

     F#                    B
I, I know that it can't be   me
[Outro]

I know that it can't be   me

     Emaj7
