Am  F           C    
Why must I feel numb,
 Em             Am
 done what I've done,
     F        C     Em  
I've taken my cues, what
                 Am
 I'm supposed to do,
    F           C   
Now heave the issue, 
     Em          Am
the narrative's doomed,
     F          C   
When I hold the pen,
      Em         Am  
 it's throttling you.

Am  F  C  Em

Am        F    
You never liked 
         C
me when drunk,
  Em         Am       
I start to believe you
       F           C
 never liked me at all,
    Em    Am       
And so I agree, and
 F              C
 I'll say "Fuck you",
         Em        Am  
'Cause I know if I don't
        F        C
 I'll probably say,
          Em         Am  
Something stupid and true.

  Am                     
I stand just out of reach
         F
 of your fists,
    C               
And take myself away
  Em
 again, pretty slim,
    Am             
And dance around the
             F
 subject, a figure of eight,
  C                   
Describe all the parts 
       Em
of me I'm yet to break,
Am                    
Count all the parts of
        F
 me I'm yet to break,
  Am*                
I Count all the parts
       Em
 of me I'm yet to break you.



Am           F           C
Kiss me like it was your job,
   Em         Am       
So tender and carefully,
  F            C    
 teeth before tongue,
               Em
 (I wanna be yours),
Am         F       
Not in the way that 
     C         Em
the romantics do,
             Am       
But with the grace of a 
  F          C      
workplace HR dispute.
  Em
 (I wanna be yours).


    Am      F    
You know, I don't 
           C
need much more,
    Em       Am  
But wanna be mine,
  F        C   Em
 wanna be yours,
    Am      F    
You know, I don't
           C
 need much more,
  Em       Am  
I wanna be mine,
  F        C   Em
 wanna be yours.

Am  F            C
I   take you for granted,
  Em          Am         
Because the alternative's 
 F          C
far more alarming.
