Linger By Jonatha Brooke with Lyrics Chords

[Em] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[E] I [G] am walking past [C] [G] sprinklers and newly [D] painted porches [Em] and the [C] lemonites and [G] girls on a suburban [D] afternoon.
[Em] I am leaving [C] because I love [G] you, I'm leaving because [D] I don't [Em] and I'm hoping you won't [C] fall
[G] on, I'm praying [D] that you won't let [Em] me go.
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _
[Em] I am captive [C] in your [G] presence, I will melt [D] for your eyes, [Em] but I still [C] cry for [G] approval
and I'm helpless [D] when you criticize, [A] _ _ [C] _ criticize. _
[G] Because it's written on your [Em] body, it's on the tip of your tongue, [A] the look in your [C] eyes
and the glare of the sun, [G] it's such a new cold finger when you [A] say goodbye, [G] the way
that you linger, the way that you [Em] lie.
_ _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Em] You saw [C] me through the keyhole [G] of a door that [Bm] I kept [Em] locked, but I [C] decorate the threshold
[G] just in [Bm] case you [D] knock.
[Em] What I might [C] feel on the [G] edges will never [Bm] come to know, [Em] and who I might [G] be in the [C] corners
[G] I will never, [D] ever, ever, [A] ever show, _ [G] never [C] show.
[G] Because it's written on my [Em] body, it's on the tip of my tongue, [A] the look in my eyes [C] and the
glare of the [G] sun, the touch of my cold fingers when I [A] say goodbye, [G] the way that I linger,
the way that I [Em] lie.
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ [Em]
Who said that [D] love [C] would linger?
[G] Who said that [Bm] love would last?
[Em] When we cannot seize the [C] moment, [G] we [D] will not leave the past.
[Em] I don't think I [C] was afraid of [G] you, but how could [D] I be sure?
[Em] When with [C] every altercation [G] you show me [D] the [Am] door.
[A] Here I go, [G] here I go, here [A] I go.
_ [C] _ _ _
[G] Because it's written on my body, [Em] it's on the tip of my tongue, [A] the look in my eyes [G] and the
glare of the sun, the touch of my cold fingers [Em] when I [A] say goodbye, [G] the way that I linger,
the way that we lie, the touch of your fingers and the look in your eyes and the way we accuse
and the [D] way we deny.
