 I know we only fucked a couple of times

Bm7       A          E7
Love owes nothing to us

 Nobody's perfect or as dumb as their luck

Kissing this, kissing that

And its lights won't leave me alone

 Crooked fingers keep pointing me home

Love keeps ringing a bell

Bm7    A             E7/G#
 Clear water for the well in myself

Or just a hand for the glove

 It doesn't matter 'til it totally does

 Depending on which ones you believe

 People are passing out hoping for less

 Look at everybody twist in the wind

Time just does what it does

Dm      C                G/B
 I only wish it wouldn't do it to us
