Lately I've been picking at the fossil in my throat 
It's hard to stare into the ocean 
and to try to stay afloat 
    C                               Am
Now don't upset yourself due to the changing of my mood 
            Em
I'm hard to please sometimes 
I'm hard to please sometimes 

Em 
I'm on a staircase to the bottom of the bottom of my soul 
Although my feet are still connected 
They are out of my control 
    C                            Am
Now please refrain yourself from worrying on my behalf 
                        Em
I'm hard to understand sometimes 
I'm hard to understand sometimes 

G
Honey come with me 
Em
It's just you and me 
G                 
Baby believe it's 
Em
As simple as can be 
D                               Em
I will be the jail that sets you free 
D                               Em
I will be the jail that sets you free 

Em
I'm shuffling underneath my pillow for the bed-crumbs of my mind 
It's hard to look there for a future 
when I left it all behind 
    C                                     Am
And please don't condescend and say you've heard this one before 
            Em
I'm hard to please sometimes 
I'm hard to please sometimes 

Em
And while you're offering a handshake to a goddamn amputee 
I feel my phantom heart is scratching in a train-wreck memory 
    C                                   Am
And please don't try to cure me with on rectifying glance 
            Em
I'm hard to understand sometimes 
I'm hard to understand sometimes 



G
Honey come with me 
Em
It's just you and me

Baby believe it's

As simple as can be 
D                               Em
I will be the jail that sets you free 
D                               Em
I will be the jail that sets you free 

G – Em x2

            G           Em
I'm hard to please sometimes 
            G           Em
I'm hard to please sometimes

I will be the jail that makes you 
D
I will be the jail that breaks you

I will be the jail that sets you free
