Protection Spells

D               F#         G              F#
You said "I'm sorry" as you went to leave
     D        A                F#m         G  A
And I lit a match to throw down at your feet
      D                          F#
And screamed "Don't come back"
        G                       F#
As you turned toward the door
        D               A             F#m        G   A
And I ached as the flames grew up from the floor

           D              A
And I'm tired of going out
          F#                  G
And I'm tired of staying in bed
          D               A                    F#m       G   A
And I'm tired of your heart beating its way into my head
      D          A         F#         G
The old incantations I kept to myself
   D                  A                   F#        G        D
"I miss you" and "I love you" are weak protections spells

   D           F#             G                       F#
I held myself to the sound of my own breath
           D           A             F#m             G  A
Settled down and slept in the crook of my own neck
         D                      F#
And I looked out the window
         G                  F#
And I wondered aloud
           D                  A              F#m    G   A
Will the sun ever come back? I'm so tired of the clouds


          D              A
And I'm tired of going out
          F#                  G
And I'm tired of staying in bed
          D               A                    F#m       G   A
And I'm tired of your heart beating its way into my head
      D          A         F#         G
The old incantations I kept to myself
   D                  A                   F#        G        D
"I miss you" and "I love you" are weak protections spells
