[Em]
[Bm] I think I'll [A] go home and [G] [Em] disco before [D] I cramp it [A] down my [G] throat
It's long past, [Am] it's crashed, [G] it's the last [E] two maps
[D] It's broken up into bits of [G] my world
[E] Drip [D] the [E] mattress off [D] the floor
[E] Wipe [D] the cramps [A] off of the [Em] aluminum core
[D] Get me a dark [E] skin, [D] and we'll fight your [E] bed again
[D] Underneath the [A] foul lines, [Em] you can't shake
Whatever I get are the icy [G] highs that contain all [Bm] reason
It's a [A] luscious race [G] of [Em] words and tricks that [D] let us fret
[A] But you know we [G] should fall
On [Bm] rocks [A] I've drowned, [G] I've well and [Em] weak stepped
And [D] all the hopeless [A] [Bm] roads are [G] now on
Hold [E] [D] your glass [E] up, [D] hold it in
[E] Never [D] be straight, the way [A] you always [G] know me to
[E] What [D] may I be wanting [Em] now?
I [D] got so close, you're [Em] slouching out
Never [D] got cold, [A] wearing nothing [Em] but snow
This is way beyond my remote concern to be a [B] condescending [A] whore
[G] These [F#m] fucking [Em] [F#] worlds [G] won't quit
[F#m]
Building [G] [F#m] my [Bm] family [F#m]
[G] in red
[F#m] [E] [D]

[E] [D] Hold your glass [E] up, [D] hold it in

[E] What [D] may I be [E] wanting now?
I [D] got so close, you're [E] slouching out
