Ani DiFranco - Dilate chords
Start Jamming...
[A]
Life used to be lifelike.
[F#m] Now it's more like showbiz.
[A]
I wake up in the night, don't know where [G] the bathroom is, don't know what [D] town I'm in.
Sky, I wonder, and I [A] wake up in the darkness.
I don't have the will anymore to wander.
[G] And everyone has a [Bm] skeleton, [D] a closet to keep it in, but you're mine.
[G]
Every song has [D] you, a you that the singer sings to.
[G] And you're at this time, baby, you're [A] at this time.
[F#m] [A]
[F#m] [A] When I need to wipe my face, [F#m] I use the back of my hand.
[A] And I like to take up space, just [D] because I can.
And I use my dress to wipe up my dreams.
You know I care [A] less and less what people [F#m] think.
[D] And you are so lame, you know, [A] you [D] always disappoint me.
It's kind of like a running joke.
It's really not funny, [Bm] and I just want you to live up to [D] the image of you I create.
I see you and I'm so unsatisfied.
I see you and I [A] don't.
[D] [A]
[D] [A] So I walk the plank, yeah, I jump with [F#m] a smile.
[A] If I'm gonna go down, [D] I'm gonna do it with style.
And you won't see me surrender, you won't hear me confess,
because [A] you've left me with nothing.
But I've worked with less, [Bm] and I learn every wrong line.
[D] To make it to the door, and then I hear it click shut behind me.
And [Bm] every key works differently, and [A] I forget every [D] time.
And the forgetting defies me, yeah, that's what [A] defies me.
[Bm] [A]
[D]
[G] [D]
[A]
[Bm] [A]
And when I say you sucked my brain out, the English translation is I am in love with you.
And it is no fun, [D] but I don't use words like love,
because words like that don't matter.
But [A] don't look so offended, you know you should [D] be flattered.
[Bm] And I wake up in the night, it's a [D] big hotel bed.
My hands grow for the night, my hands grow for my head.
[Bm] The world is my oyster, you know, [D] the road is my lawn.
And I know that I'm better, I'm [G] better, I'm better,
[A] I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, [F#m] I'm [A]
[Bm] [A] better.
