You left it, I sent it
Em Cadd9
I want it back
G G/F#
You left it, I sent it
Em Cadd9
I want it back
C D
If I had you here, I'd clip your wings
C D
Snap you up and leave you sprawling on my pin
C D
This plan of mine is oh so very lame
C D
Can't you see the grass is greener where it rains
G G/F# Em
You left, I died, I went and you cried
Cadd9 G
You came, I think, But I never really know
G/F# Em
I've served my time, I've watched you climb
Cadd9 G
The wrong incline, But what do I know
G G/F#
Accept it, Don't let it
Em Cadd9
Turn the screw
G G/F#
Accept it, And let it
Em Cadd9
Scream back at you
C D
Now this applies both equally to you and I

The only thing we share is the same sky
C D
These empty metaphors, they're all in vain
C D
Like can't you see the grass is greener where it rains
G G/F# Em
You left, I died, I went and you cried
Cadd9 G
You came, I think, But I never really know
G/F# Em
I've served my time, I've watched you climb

The wrong incline, But what do I know
G G/F# Em Cadd9
Yeah what do I know
G G/F# Em Cadd9
Yeah what do I know
G G/F#
In the garden Snake was a charmin'
Em Cadd9
And Eve said let's give it a try
G G/F#
Now lead us not into temptation
Em Cadd9
But no matter how hard I try
G G/F#
When in the garden and Snake is a charmin'
Em Cadd9
And Eve says let's give it a try
G G/F# Em Cadd9
Eve is the apple of my eye
G G/F# Em Cadd9
Eve is the apple of my eye
G G/F# Em Cadd9
Eve is the apple of my eye
G
And I lie behind you
G/F# Em Cadd9
And cradle you in the palm of me
G
And I pat your hair down
G/F# Em
I think will we sink or swim?
C
will we sink or swim?

will we sink or swim?
C
will we sink or swim?
G
'Cause we could do either on a whim
