Intro
Em G D A 2x
[Verse 1]
Em G D A
grey on my face and spurs on my tongue and i could be anyone
Em G D A
large as a lion stalking his lover, small as the dying sun
Bm D A G
don’t tell them what you would do in there
Bm D A G
fist full of flowers and fire for hair
Bm D A G
feet first, all fumbles, but he wouldn’t care
Bm D A G
fake human face trapped inside his stare
Bm D A G
when i’m in this body, put your pressure on me
Bm D A G
when you’re getting closer, you’re getting further from me
[Chorus]
A G
but i’m the one who knows better
A Bm
i’m the one who’s no better
A G
and she’ll always know better
A Em G
and she’s always no better
D A
Em G D A
Oooooooooo
[Verse 2]
Em G D A
i could be best and i could be dust and i could be what you think
Em G D A
pinned to your collar, proof of your power, code for what you can’t see
Bm D A G
don’t say it’s me when you know she’ll do
Bm D A G
things I could dream up and you’ll dream too
Bm D A G
all legs and all eyes, like any body moves
Bm D A G
perfect in the right light, like anybody’s truth
Bm D A G
when i’m thinking clear like the light behind the window
Bm D A G
oh, i could see it peel off, and the voices become real
[Chorus]
A G
but i’m the one who knows better
A Bm
i’m the one who’s no better
A G
and she’ll always know better
A Em G
and she’s always no better
D A
Em G D A
Oooooooooo
Em G D A
Oooooooooo
