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