your husband,

                   D
he drinks like a writer,

                       D
but he writes like a banker,

                         C    C
i hope his pens all run dry.
you watch him from your cave in the corner, full moon eyes flame and flicker, the wild way that i like.
This lead part is played during the next verse.

from my part, i pretend i don't notice dumb friend you're a poet, and i could do this all night.
           C
and i'll stay like that,

        C
hands locked in my lap,

        Am                  D
what i want jailed up in my mind,

          C
until i slide to sleep

              C
where you're waitin' for me,

       Am
and we do what we want to,

       D
and shut ourselves off for the night.
Not Muted C Am D C C til morning barrels in like a brides maid, drunk and desperate for her day, drags me out, picks a fight. and i see i'm alone here picture frames and a hot plate stubborn sun spites the hallways paint chips blink yellow white. and i'm stretching, in the act of forgetting, bear teeth and blood letting, signals crossed half my life.
          C
and the local grown
sees your notes towards my home,
          Am
dreaming fits as we crawl underground,

              C
and you're shedding skin,
so i keep what i can.
        Am
yeah i fill up my pockets,
and stuff all that's left in my mouth. now you are a part of me, for as long as i sleep. i could trick myself into a trance, where were as firm as facts, and i don't give you back every morning the sun comes to shuttle you back to your man. Feedback is appreciated.
