[F#m] [D] [A] [B]
[F#] [D] [A] [B]
[F#] [D] I'm a [B] little [F#] screwed [D] Words were missed and [A] some [A#m] apology
[B] [F#] I didn't want to [D] tell you this, no It's just some [A] guy [B] she's been hanging [F#] out with
I [D] don't know the [A] past couple weeks I [B] get
[F#] I thank you [D] and hang up the [A] phone At the funeral [C#] store, hear the casket [F#m] close
Look again, split [D] black ribbon To [A] your [Bm] overcoat
[F#m] But laughter pours [D] from under doors [A] In this house I don't [Bm] understand that sound
[F#m] No more, [D] seems artificial [A] Like a [G] TV set
[Bm] A lie, a lie, a lie, a [A] lie Persuaded, must be [G] satisfied
You offer only one reply You [A] know not what you do
But [Bm] you tear, tear your hair from roots [A] That same head you got twice removed
[G] Now a lock-up hair you said would prove [A] My love would never die
I [Bm]
remember [B] [D] everything [A] The words we [B] spoke on freezing [F#] south street
And all [D] those mornings watching you [A] Get ready for [B] school
[F#m] You combed your hair inside that mirror The one [A] you painted blue and [B] glued with jewelry [F#] tears
Something about those [D] bright colors Would [A] always make you feel [B] better
But [F#m] now we speak [D] with ruined tongues [A] And the words we say [Bm] aren't meant for [F#m] anyone
Sister [D] mumbled sentence to [A] A passing [Bm] acquaintance but there was [F#m] once you
You said you hate [D] my suffering [A] And you understood
[Bm] And you'd take care [F#m] of me [D] You'd always be there
[A] Well where are you [G] now?
[Bm] A lie, a lie, a lie, a lie [A] The plans would never finalize
[G] But left to hang like yarn and twine [A] Dangling before my eyes
[Bm] You tear, tear your hair from roots [A] That same head you got twice removed
[G] Now a lock-up hair you said would prove [A] My love would never die
And [Bm] I sing and sing of awful things [A] The pleasure that my sadness brings
And [G] my fingers press onto the string [A] Yet another clumsy chord
[Bm] A lie, a lie, an awful lie [A] This weight would not be satisfied
I'm [G] gonna give you only one reply [A] I know not who I am
But [F#m] I talk in [G] the mirror To the [A] stranger that [D] appears
Our conversations [Bm] are circles Always [G] one-sided, nothing [A] is clear
[F#m] Except we keep [G] coming back [A] To this me [D] that I lack
He says the choices were [F#m] given Now you must [G] live them
Or just [A] know
[B] [Em]
[F#] [D] [A] [B]
[F#] [D] I'm a [B] little [F#] screwed [D] Words were missed and [A] some [A#m] apology
