[Verse 1]
E7
Was it easy enough
E7
To find another to love?
A
Something breezy and boyish
A
In the sound of your voice
A
Betrayed another one boiling
E7
Your blood
[Verse 2]
E7
And do you stretch their skin tight?
E7
Hold it up to that sky at night?
A
With that pencil you trace
A
The paths of their veins
A
To form constellations
E7
Of light
[Verse 3]
E7
Said "If I do what you ask
E7
Could you give me a little something back?
A
I ain't asking for much
A
Maybe loosen these cuffs
A
Give me a couple of puffs
E7
From that pack?"
[Verse 4]
E7
And you in that customary dress
E7
For a Judas impression
A
You tried for that kiss
A
But when you leaned in
A
Pressed your lips to that partition
E7
Of glass
[Interlude]
B D A D A D A B
[Outro]
B D A
Keep clenching your fists
D A
And biting your lip
D A
As you hang on that fifth
E7
All your life
