Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
I caught you caroling and giving grief
Thought you were cannonballing after me
Now that your actions speak for themselves
And wished you well
But you're a mirror I cannot avoid
Strung out and jittery and paranoid
A leaky battery that can't keep charged
Get in the car
And say what you mean
Explain yourself to me
and I'll try not to judge you more than you would
Let me help, I promise not to tell
Like anyone's asking or anyone should
Break
(Same strum pattern as verse)
First time I met you I was full of fear
Knew that eventually you'd disappear
Just when I needed you to burn to smoke
And off you go
Just come back and peel away the mess
Lay here beside me and open your eyes
Take it back your dignity attacked
Turn back to the person you tried to let die
I caught you nesting with your antelope
Glassy eyes from kissing poison frogs
Becoming infinite against his couch
Open your mouth
and say the words you used to wish you heard
Back when you focused enough to be good
And if you're gone, an endless false alarm
Just remember I loved you as long as I could
Outro
