[Intro] Em* [Verse 1]
    Em*
you showed me my tommorow

  Em*
beside a box of matches

  Em*
a welcome threating stir
Em*
   Em*
my hopes of being stolen

      Em*
might just ring true

                   Em*
depends who you prefer
Em* [Bridge]
Em                     G
If its true your gonna run away

C                      C*
tell me where ill meet you there
Em C* (x2) [Verse 2]
     Em*
Am I snapping the excitement?

     Em*
If i pack away the laughter

    Em*
and tell you how it feels
Em*
         Em*
And does burden come to meet ya

       Em*
If ive questions of the feature

     Em*
that rolls on your dream reel
Em* [Bridge 2]
    Em            G
The day after you stole my heart

     C                       C*                             Em    C*
Everything I touched told me it would be better shared with you
Em C* [Verse 3]
         Am           Em
And your hiding in my soup

        Am                Em
and the book reveals your face

              Am              Em
and as you're splashing in my eyelids

    Am               Em       Am
the concentration continually breaks

        Em                 Am
I did request the mark you cast

         Em
It didnt heal as fast

  C
I hear your voice in silences

                             C*                 Em     C*
will the teasing of the fire be followed by the thud
Em C*
       Em
In the jostling crowd your not allowed to tell the truth and the photo

         Em*
booths a liar
Em*
        Em*
And the sharpened explanations

    Em*                             Em*
but theres no screaming reason to enquire
Em*
            Em                 G                C
I'd like to poke them in their prying eyes with things theyve never seen

C*                         Em
if it smacks them in their temples
