Confidante

[Chorus]
D
You used to be my confidante
D
My underneath-the-staircase friend
D
But I fell out of love with you
D
And brought our romance to an end
G
I played with you throughout the day
D
And told you every secret thought
G
Unlike my other so-called friends
D
You stood beside me as I fought

[Verse 1]
D                 A    D
In your reflected glory I
D                      G       A
Could dream of shining far off lands
Em
Where serpents turn to bits of string
G                           D
And play like kittens in my hand


[Verse 2]
G
In our imaginary world
D
Where butterflies wear army boots
G
And stomp around the forests
         D        G
Chanting long lost anthems
D         G
Long lost anthems

But I fell out of love with you
