C G
Mr Ruskin come and paint my picture
F G
We're losing sleep 'cos we steal the week
C
Now who's your best friend?
G
Can you introduce me?
Am F G
See I can't seem to even let you breathe
F C G
When I dance with Billy Ruskin in my mind's eye
F C G
Please let me forget that I'm standing on my own
F C Am
And I am my own best friend and I need me to see
F C G
That I am more than what is hiding in me
C G
Come and show me if you can
F
See I know you're me
G
But I can't seem to understand
C G
If you know me, place my hand on mine
Am F G
And we will resurrect the time
C G
That we lost when you left my mind
F C G
It's psycho-paranoia disappearing in time
C G
Come and show me what makes you tick
F G
I need you to get out of my mind quick
F C G
When I dance with Billy Ruskin in my mind's eye
F C G
Please let me forget that I'm standing on my own
F C Am
And I am my own best friend and I need me to see
F C G
That I am more than what is hiding in me
