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