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