[Verse 1]
E Emaj7
Okay, I'm finished now
E7 A
And I kept my faith for long enough
Am E
And I hope I'm old and fairly sober
B7 Amaj7
If I'm let down
E Emaj7
Maybe you keep me around
E7 A
For the constant affirmations
Am E
While I scrounge for understanding
B7 Amaj7
And fall out
[Refrain]
A
I'll let you win and I'll let you tie
E B
The ribbon to my hair
A E B
Just so that we could come back to this if we really cared
A
The morning gates stay open
E B
If you had a thought that I'd be there
A
(Oh, I'd be there)
[Instrumental]
E Emaj7 E7 A Am E B7 Amaj7
[Verse 2]
E Emaj7
Know we could use a break
E7 A
Because I can't feel my feet
Am E
I carried you all the way upstairs
B7 Amaj7 Gb Ab
So you can sleep and I can think
[Chorus]
Db Fm
Stand guard
Gb
When I am near
Db Fm Gb
Clinging on to everything you fear
Db F7
Keeping me close
Gbm
While you hold me out and say
Ab7
I don't love you that way
[Verse 3]
Db Fm Gb
Harbor myself away from everyone else
Db Fm
I'm half awake and intimate
Gb
Eyes closed and I'll commit
Db F7
What I wish I had with you
Gbm
I'll pretend until it's true
Ab7
I don't love you that way
[Chorus]
Db Fm Gb
Swallow the pill, it's only fair that I hear
Db Fm Gb
Know myself better than I have in years
Db F7 Gbm
I don't know why I have to defend what I feel
Ab7
I try
Db Fm
Stand your guard
Gb
When I am near
Db Fm
Loathe me until
Gb
You're reminded of the deal
Db F7
One of us knows
Fm
When you hold me out and say
Ab7
You don't love me that way
[Outro]
Db Fm Gb x2
