Bm7 F#m
Let's lay down our masks
G7M Em7
And be true
Bm7 F#m
So that our eyes
G7M Em7
Be bound in affection
Bm7 F#m
Aware of our lust
G7M
And our shared trust
Em7
We can know each other
Bm7 F#m
And hear nature's words
G7M Em7
My dear friend
G7M
But let's not talk this through
Em7
I used to
Bm7 A
Cause long words widen gaps between lovers
G7M Em7
We ought to be lone, my home's your own
Bm7 A
Until we have each other we're strangers
Bm7 F#m
I know there's a reason
G7M Em7
We use such curves
Bm7 F#m
Riddles in smiles
G7M Em7
Rather than small talk
Bm7 F#m
I know we both want
G7M
Things to be done
Em7 Bm7
In a truthful manner
F#m
There lies our rest
G7M Em7
My dear friend
G7M
Let's not talk this through
Em7
I used to
Bm7 A
Cause long words widen gaps between lovers
G7M Em7
We ought to be lone, my home's your own
Bm7 A
Until we have each other we're strangers
