Am A Am/E E5 You’re scared of a world where you’re needed E/G# Am So you never made nice with the locals A Am/E E5 But you tied me up slow with your vine stuff E/G# Am It takes a few years, but they break bones A Am/E E5 It takes a few months, but our bones heal E/G# Am We’re stronger, and we tell all our school friends A Am/E E5 And they sign our cast in the playground E/G# Am A Am/E Darling, the rest of my body, it’s yours, then
[Pre-Chorus]
E5 G#m E7 I know you're scared A Well, I’m scared too E5 Oh, that every time I try to makе lunch G#m For anyone else, in my hеad E7 A I end up dreaming of you and you come to me
[Chorus]
E5 G#m E7 Good morning A Show me the place where he inserted the blade E5 I’ll praise the Lord, burn my house G#m I get lost, I freak out E7 You come home and hold me tight A As if it never happened at all E5 G#m E7 Good morning
[Post-Chorus]
A Show me the place where he inserted the blade E5 G#m Good morning E7 Where is your light? A Am I home? I will hold to my chest where the wind can exist Am/E I will try E5 E7 Not to keep you too long
Am A Am/E E5
[Verse 2]
Am A Am/E E5 So, clean your soup-maker and breathe in E/G# Am Your chicken, broccoli, and everything A Am/E E5 The tug that’s between us, that long string E5/G# Am Concorde, Bound 2, and my evening A Am/E E5 The good hunter’s guide to a bad night E/G# Am Darlin’, I’ll spoil it myself, thanks, you’re leaving A Am/E E5 Well, I tried just to stroke your dreams better E/G# Am A Am/E But, darlin’, I see that you’re not really sleeping
[Pre-Chorus]
E5 G#m E7 And I know you’re tired A Well, I’m tired too E5 Oh, that every time I try to make lunch G#m For anyone else, in my head E7 A I end up dreaming of you and you come to me
