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