C                     Am
Stifling, this day is stifling.
                    F 
You're sprawled out like a king
       G                        C 
On the sheets of my queen-sized bed 

C                  Am
And I'm too hot to lie beside, 
             F
possessed of idle mind. 
     G                     C
this calm is a false friend. 

C                   Am
Jealousy, I suspect jealousy. 
             F
Something is changing me 
     G                        C
Real slow from the inside out. 
  
C                     Am
It seems you mean too much to me, 
             F
Too much for comfort, see. 
    G                     C
The cause is the cure, now.

We fought a silent war 
       G                      C                Am
In the hardware store and the air was thick as paint
         F                          G
Though I carried it on, I knew that I was wrong 
      C              Am
But I fight when I'm afraid 

      F               Dm    G     C
And I come with guns a-blaaaaazing 

C                      Am
Someone once (I forget who it was) 
              F
Said, "Do not think so much, 
          G                         C
You can't hear what your heart says." 

C                          Am
But it speaks, it tugs and puddle-leaps, 
             F
And bangs my ribs to pieces. 
G                        C
Thoughts are the safe bet.

But I fight when I'm afraid 

   F               Dm
My guns will come a-blazing, 
  F               G    C
A lesser man would be afraid 

    Dm          C         Dm         C
And Oh, how you razed me, oh, to the ground. 
    Dm           Am         F
And love, oh you brought me down 
         Dm           G              G7        C
with the sound of the shaming as you went out. 

C F Dm

    G                  C
The cause is the cure, now.

     F               G           C
"I'm sorry" 's all I meant to say
