[Intro]
Bm D G D F#m
(step down for just one beat every time)
[Verse 1]
Bm D
You've been living awhile in the front of my skull
G D F#m
Making orders
Bm D
You've been writing me rules, shrinking maps
G D F#m
And redrawing borders
Bm
I've been repeating your speeches
D G D F#m
But the audience just doesn't follow
Bm D
Because I'm leaving out words, punctuation
G D F#m
And it sounds pretty hollow
Bm D
I've been living in bed because now
G D F#m
You tell me to sleep
Bm D
I've been hiding my voice and my face
G D F#m
And you decide when I eat
Bm
In your dreams I'm a criminal
D G D F#m
Horrible, sleeping around
Bm
While you're awake I'm impossible
D G D F#m
Constantly letting you down
[Verse 2]
Bm
Little porcelain figurines
D G D F#m
Glass bullets you shoot at the wall
Bm
Threats of castration for crimes
D G D F#m
You imagine when I miss your call
Bm D
With the bite of the teeth of that ring on my finger
G D F#m
I'm bound to your bedside, your eulogy singer
Bm D
I'd happily take all those bullets inside you
G D F#m
And put them inside of myself
[Interlude]
Em D Bm A
[Verse 3]
Em D
Someone, oh anyone
Bm A
Tell me how to stop this
Em D
She's screaming, expiring
Bm A
And I'm her only witness
Em D
I'm freezing, infected
Bm A
And rigid in that room inside her
Em D Bm A
No one's gonna come as long as I lay still in bed beside her
