G C
you know just how to
G C
brew your coffee so
G C Em
every flavour shows its teeth
G C
You take your time with each
G C
section of my spine babe,
G C
you really know just how to
Em
please
G C
And you’re meticulous with
G C
every grocery list.
G C Em
You’ve got a garden glowing green
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I smile silently you’re staring back at me, say
Am
tell me what you thinking for a
D7 *
minute
[Chorus]
G D
But I don’t want to tell you why I
Em C
don’t cry any more
G D
how many nights I’ve spent clutching my
Em C
knees against the floor I buy
G D
pre-cooked rice
Em C Am D7
and I’m not that nice to myself
G D
I don’t want to show you what it’s
Em C
like behind my smile
G D
so I’ll just keep my thoughts at bay and
Em C
kiss you for awhile let’s
G C
keep our lips busy
G C
get a little dizzier
G C Am
blurring this illusion that I built for you
D7 G C G
don’t shatter it now
C G C G C
don’t shatter it now
[Verse 2]
G C
You get up early
G C
you go on runs
G C
6 miles through the city
G C
just for fun
Em
you revel in the stillness of the
Em
morning
Am
invite me to the desert without
D7
any sort of warning
G * C * G * C *
I take my pills at 11
G * C * Em *
get out of bed at quarter to
G C
can’t seem to find where I
G C
misplaced my peace of mind but
Am D7
believe it or not this is how I heal
[Chorus]
G D
But I don’t want to tell you why I
Em C
don’t cry any more
G D
how many nights I’ve spent clutching my
Em C
knees against the floor I buy
G D
pre-cooked rice
Em C Am D7
and I’m not that nice to myself
G D
I don’t want to show you what it’s
Em C
like behind my smile
G D
so I’ll just keep my thoughts at bay and
Em C
kiss you for awhile let’s
G C
keep our lips busy
G C
get a little dizzier
G C Am
blurring this illusion that I built for you
D7 G C G
don’t shatter it now
C G C G C
don’t shatter it now
[Bridge]
G C
you can buy me Jade, we can
G C
hope it grows but
Am
today I’m still so petrified
D
to genuinely show you who I
D7 D7*
am, but I’ll eat your home-made jam, oh
[Outro]
G * D *
I don’t want to cry for you
Em * C *
I won’t open up that door
G * D *
so I’ll just get my things and drive
Em * C *
away just like before, I’ll try to
G D
keep myself busy
Em C
stop getting dizzier
Am
hide behind this cold aloof illusion
C
so for the sake of settling confusion,
D7 * G *
it’s over now
