[Verse 1]
G C
Woke from a dream in which you'd left me
G Em C
Posing for cars on the American stoop
G C Em C
Don't make me beg you just 'cause you can
G C Em C
I'm just a woman with a loneliness
G C Em C G
I'm just a woman with needs
[Interlude]
C Em C G C Em
C
[Chorus]
Em C
And how could you ever conceive
G C G
How much I need you, how truly barren I can be?
Em Cmaj7
They say that time, it is the only certainty
G
But it's been one o'clock for hours
C G
Oh, the day is long, untangling
[Verse 2]
G C
Can't sort release from what I sold you
G Em C
Is this what it takes to enjoy the day?
G C Em C
All of my pleasures left on display
G D Em C
I'm just a hollow root pushing through
G C Em C
I'm just the empty space inside the room
[Interlude]
G C Em C G C Em
[Chorus]
Em C
And how could you ever conceive
G C G
This adolescent heart skipping beats?
Em C
When all your love, it grows full and firm beneath
G C G C
Without a festered thought, without an emerald want
Cmaj7 G
Just a single slow desire fermenting
[Outro]
