[Am] light on your [Em] bed, _ [D] _
[Am] leaking shadows on [Em] the wall.
[D] _
[Am] It's almost too hot [Em] to [D] move _
[Am] _ outside your [Em] window.
_ [D] _ _
[Am] People are [C] driving home from work [D] for the [Am] weekend.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _

[E] You practice getting your mouth around the words that explain the way [G] you feel. _
[E] You've been scared to show your real [G] self, in [E] case she doesn't like what [G] she sees.

[A] _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _ It's now [Am] way past the hours [G] you usually pause, [Am] and you've decided to tell [G] her your [G] little [Am] joke.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Am] What could she have wanted [G] to [F#] do? _
[Am] Why would she torture [G] you? _ _
[C] You roll on your [G] side, and run your [Am] fingers through your [F#] hair. _

[Am] yourself.
_ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _
[E] The _ _ _ _ _ _ sky tonight may be [G] a shepherds delight, but [B] you're counting [Am] chunks from [D] your heart.

[E] _ _ _ _ _ [G] mind. _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] What's left of [A] you now?

[A] _ _ [E] _
She can't leave you [G] _ _ _
[E] alone _ and [G] defenseless. _
