Artist: Bad Books
[Bb]I caught you caterwauling, [F]giving grief
[Gm]Thought you were cannonballing a[Dm]fter me
[Am]I let your actions speak [F]for [Am]them[Bb]selv[C]es
Dm (picked)
And wished you well
[Bb]But you're a mirror I [F]cannot avoid
[Gm]Strung out and jittery and [Dm]paranoid
[Am]A leaky battery that c[F]an't [Am]keep [Bb]charged[C]
[Gm]Get in the car [Bb] [C]
[F]And say what you [Dm]mean
[Bb]Explain [C]yourself to [F]me
[Gm]And I'll try not to [Dm]judge you more than you
[C]would
L[F]et me h[Dm]elp,
[Bb]I promise [C]not to [F]tell
[Gm]Like anyone's [Dm]asking or anyone [C]should
[Bb]First time I met you, I was [F]full of fear
[Gm]Knew that eventually, you'd [Dm]disappear
[Am]Just when I needed you, [F]you'd [Am]burned [Bb]to [C]smoke
And off you'd [Dm]go
J[F]ust come b[Dm]ack
[Bb]and peel [C]away the [F]mess
[Gm]Lay here beside me and [Dm]open your e[C]yes
[F]Take it b[Dm]ack
[Bb]Your [C]dignity, your t[F]act
[Gm]Turn back to the person you [Dm]tried to let [C]die
[Bb]I caught you nesting with your [F]analog
[Gm]Glassy eyed from kissing [Dm]poison frogs
[Am]Becoming infinite [F]aga[Am]inst [Bb]his c[C]ouch
[Gm]Open your mouth[Bb] [C]
[F]And say the w[Dm]ords
[Bb]You used to [C]wish you [F]heard
[Gm]Back when you f[Dm]ocused enough to be [C]good
[F]And if you're g[Dm]one
[Bb]An endless [C]false [F]alarm
[Gm]Just remember, I [Dm]loved you
As long as I [C]could
[Gm]Thought you were cannonballing a[Dm]fter me
[Am]I let your actions speak [F]for [Am]them[Bb]selv[C]es
