Standard (EADGBE)

A cold crash of metal and gears

 Grip the wheel as I sit right here

 Did she get away, the ghost of a deer

 Am I in this all alone?

 Well I'm nine, singing carols at Christmas

 I am trying to make sense of your tenses

 I know a word but not the rest of your sentence

 There is nothing I can do

 Because I don't understand you

 Always felt like I was walking a maze

 No one told me to go right or left

 Blue or red, what colours disguise me

 So I look like all the rest?

 Well I'm nine, singing carols at Christmas

 I am trying to make sense of your tenses

 I know a word but not the rest of your sentence

 There is nothing I can do

 Because I don't understand you

 Your eyes never change their watchful gaze on the T.V. set

 They're already a day ahead in the east

 Can an island mean more than me?

 Well there you are, standing with people like you

 It seems I've never seen you laugh like you do

 I count the ways I could have been more like you

 Well I'm nine, singing carols at Christmas

 I am trying to make sense of your tenses

 I know a word but not the rest of your sentence

 There is nothing I can do

 Because I don't understand you
