Frightened Rabbit - 'Poke' chords
Start Jamming...
You poke at my iris, why can't I cry about this?
[A] Maybe there [E] is something that you know that I don't.
We adopt brand new language, communicate through parsed lips,
[A] and you try not to [E] put on any sexy clothes or graces.
I might never catch a mouse and present it in my mouth
[A] to make you feel you're [E] with someone who deserves to be with you.
There's one thing we've got going, and it's the only thing worth knowing.
[A] It's got lots to do with [E] magnets and the pull of the moon.
Why won't our love keel over as it chokes on a bone?
[A] And we can mourn [E] its passing and then bury it in snow.
Or should we kick its content and watch as it dies from bleeding?
[A] You don't want to [E] be with me, just say and I'll go.

We can't change our partners, this is a progressive dance,
but [A] remember it was [E] me who dragged you up to the sweaty floor.
This has been real, I've got shin splints and a stitch from wee.
[A]
Like a drunken [E] eye, it's the best bits that are coloured in.
You should look through some old photos, I adored you in every last one of those.
[A] If someone took a [E] picture of us now they'd need to be told
that we had ever clung and tied a navy knot with arms.
And [A] I'd say she was his sister, [E] she doesn't have his nose.
And now we're unrelated and rid of all the shit we hated.
[A] But I hate [E] when I feel like this and [B] I never hated [A] you.
