Tell me how,
         C       Bb     F
tell me how you make decisions
           C Bb F
When every doubt
              C     Bb         F
creeps like roaches in your kitchen,
           C Bb F
And every sound,
     C     Bb       F                Eb
it keens within an inch of what's allowed?


Eb                                Bb
Safe in something comforting and deep,
                                      F
an ancient terror grips you in your sleep.

Words of comfort ring in your ear.

I'm always feeling off this time of year...

You're at the table crying like you've got something to prove,

So I left the building, what was I supposed to do?

I covet your intention and you cower in my presence,

Hold me closer,

And sing a lullaby,
Cm       Gm   Bbm
Sing a lullaby?

I'm always feeling off this time of year,  my dear.
