Intro:
Dm G C Am G
 
Verse1:
F
Well I held you like a lover
G C Csus Am G
Happy hands, your elbow in the appropriate place
F G
And we ignored our others' happy plans
C Csus Am G
For that delicate look upon your face
F
Our bodies moved and hardened
G C Csus
Hurting parts of your garden, With no room for a pardon
Am C F G
In a place where no one knows what we have done
 
[Refrão] Dm G C Csus Am G
Do you come together ever with him?
Dm G C Csus Am G
And is he dark enough, enough to see your light?
Dm G
And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
C Csus Am G
Do you miss my smell?
Dm G C Csus Am G
and is he bold enough to take you on, do you feel like you belong?
Dm G C Csus Am G
and does he drive you wild, or just mildly free?
F G
What about me?
 
Verse2:
F
Well you held me like a lover
G C Csus Am G
Sweaty hands, and my foot in the appropriate place
F G
We use cushions to cover happy glands
C Csus Am G
In the mild issue of our disgrace
F G
Our minds pressed and guarded While our flesh disregarded
C Csus Am F G
The lack of space for the light-hearted, in the boom that beats our drum
 
F
Well I know I make you cry,
G
and I know sometimes you wanna die
C Csus Am G
But do you really feel alive without me,
F
if so, be free
G C Csus Am G
If not, leave him for me, before one of us has accidental babies
F G
For we are in love
 
-==Chorus==-
F G
What about me?
