C G
I caught you caterwauling, giving grief
Am Em
Thought you were cannonballing after me
Bm G Bm C D
I let your actions speak for themselves
Em (picked)
And wished you well
C G
But you're a mirror I cannot avoid
Am Em
Strung out and jittery and paranoid
Bm G Bm C D
B leaky battery that can't keep charged
Am C D
Get in the car
G Em
And say what you mean
C D G
Explain yourself to me
Am Em
And I'll try not to judge you more than you
D
would
G Em
Let me help,
C D G
I promise not to tell
Am Em D
Like anyone's asking or anyone should
C G
First time I met you, I was full of fear
Am Em
Knew that eventually, you'd disappear
Bm G Bm C D
Just when I needed you, you'd burned to smoke
Em
And off you'd go
G Em
Just come back
C D G
and peel away the mess
Am Em D
Lay here beside me and open your eyes
G Em
Take it back
C D G
Your dignity, your tact
Am Em D
Turn back to the person you tried to let die
C G
I caught you nesting with your analog
Am Em
Glassy eyed from kissing poison frogs
Bm G Bm C D
Becoming infinite against his couch
Am C D
Open your mouth
G Em
And say the words
C D G
You used to wish you heard
Am Em D
Back when you focused enough to be good
G Em
And if you're gone
C D G
An endless false alarm
Am Em
Just remember, I loved you
D
As long as I could
