[E]
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 [B] through pursed [A] lips
You try [E] not to put on any sexy clothes, you're gracious
I might never catch your mouse and present it in my mouth
[A] To make you [E] feel you're with someone who deserves to be with you
But there's one thing we've got going and it's the only thing worth knowing
[A] It's got lots to do [E] with magnets and the pull of the moon
Why won't our love keel over as it [B] chokes on a bone?
[A] 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] If you don't [E] want to be with me just say and I will [A] go

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