You slide out at night to show yourself

                     E

              Fis                           Bm
with the hems you call your friends.

                                  G
You've memorized a thousand lines and

             E
kissed a thousand guys but none packed

Fis more than wood.

G                    D

C                         G       A               G
night before has grown somehow.

their eyes and all they laugh about.

Bm				G
Sailboats that never float and lids of lead

		E
that hold your ego down. What's it take

    Fis          Bm		       G
to bend the lens? Well as you can see I 

          E	      	       Fis		D
really know but never can amend the trend

	       A		        G
towards the rocks wielding the knives

				        D
beneath your breast and all the the waves

	     A		  G
that never break within our sight. So come on

	  A
treat me right.

If you could keep him you'd dub him

        C			    G         A      G
"The rock what aced 'em two to one" 

			      D
but the powder from your empty boxes

       C				G        A        G

from their eyes and all they laugh about.
