[Intro]
D G A D Bm7
I spent a long time watering a plant made out of plastic
E7 Dsus4 D
And I curse the ground for growing green
D Gmaj7 A A#dim Bm Bm/F#
I spent a long time substituting honest with sarcastic
E7 E7/B A7 D
And I curse my tongue for being mean

Em Bm
And weightless, breathless restitute
Em Bm
Motionless and absolute
Em Bm E/G# F#7/A#
He cut me open, sucked the poison from an aging wound
Em Bm
Now fifty thousand war cadets
Em Bm
Would cower at this small brunette
Em Bm
To my surprise, not six feet high
F#7/C#
Would reach and grab the moon if I
Bm Bm/A#
Should ask or just imply
Bm/A Bm/G#
That I wanted a bit more light
G
So I could look inside his eyes
Em/G
And get the colors just right
D5 Bbaug Gm
Just right, just right, just

D5 Bbaug Gm
Dm Bbmaj7 Gm x8
[Outro]
Gm
Build love, build God, build provinces
Dm
Build calluses, break promises

Bbmaj7 A7
What am I thinking? What does this mean?
Dm Fmaj7
How could somebody ever love me?
Gm A7
Talk to your man, tell him he's got bad news comin'
