Chords

A version for acoustic guitar without all the Guthrie-enhanced shoegazer effects. As nobody knows exactly what Liz is singing, I took generic lyrics from a Cocteau Twins Wiki.
[Intro]
C-Em-F-C-G-C
[Verse 1]
     E      Em
It's an old game, my love:

         F
When you can't have me, you want me

            C                G                  C
Because you know that you're not risking anything
[Chorus]
Em                         F
Intimacy is while we're in the same place
At the same time
        C                   G
Dealing honestly with how we feel

                 Am
And who we really are

   G                 Am
That's what grownups do

F                      C
That is mature thinking
[Verse 2]
E                  Em
Well I'm still a junkie for it

        F
It takes me out of my aloneness

         C              G                 C
But this relationship cannot sustain itself
[Chorus]
Em                         F
Intimacy is while we're in the same place
At the same time
        C                   G
Dealing honestly with how we feel

                 Am
And who we really are

   G                 Am
That's what grownups do

F                      Em
That is mature thinking

F
I just have to know
How to be in the process
C                       G       C
Of creating things in a better way

        Em
And it hurts, but it's a lie

              F
That I can't handle it

               C           G             C
I still have a world of me-ness to fulfill

Em
I still have a life

         F
And it's a rich one

          C                     G              C
Even with mourning, even with grief and sadness

     Em
I still care about this planet

F                           Am
I am still connected to nature

          G               F
And to my dreams for myself

F
I have my friends
My family I have myself I still have me
F
I have my friends
My family I have myself
                C
I still have me
