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