I love this song so much! although there were only tabs for it which i dont read so basically sat with the song playing and worked these out. enjoy (: Intro: F, Am, C F, Am, C F, Am, C C, F, Am, C
     F           Am
You wait for a silence

   C          C
I wait for a word

       F            Am
Lying next to your frame

 C       C
Girl unobserved

      F           Am
You change your position

          C     C
You're changing me

   F            Am
Casting these shadows

       C             C
Where they shouldn't be

F           Am
We're interrupted

        C          C
By the heat of the sun

F           Am
Trying to prevent

         C       C
What's already begun

F              Am
You're just a body

        C        C
I can smell your skin

     F          Am
And when I feel it

         C      C
You're wearing thin

     Am      F  C
But I've got a plan

           C           Am
Why don't you be the artist

     F             C
And make me out of clay?

           C           Am
Why don't you be the writer

  F                C
Decide the words I say?

            Am     C
Cause I'd rather pretend

            C               Am
I'll still be there at the end

           F           Am
Only it's too hard to ask

           C          C
Won't you try to help me?

F           Am
Sat on your sofa

     C            C
It's all broken springs

       F           Am
This isn't the place for

        C        C
Those violin strings

   F           Am
I try out a smile

      C         C
And I aim it at you

     F           Am
You must have missed it

       C    C
You always do

     Am      F  C
But I've got a plan

   C           Am
Why don't you be the artist

     F             C
And make me out of clay?

           C           Am
Why don't you be the writer

  F                C
Decide the words I say?

            Am     C
Cause I'd rather pretend

            C               Am
I'll still be there at the end

           F           Am
Only it's too hard to ask
