_ _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] I am walking [C] as a strangler [G] in the [D] newly [G] painted [Em] porches
In the [C] monastery of girls [G] on a suburban [D] afternoon
[E] I am leaving [C] because I love you
[Gm] I am leaving [D] because I don't
And [E] I am hoping [C] you will follow
[G] And I'm praying [D] that you won't [Em] let me go
[G] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] I [E] am captive [C] in your presence
[G] I will melt [D] before your eyes
[E] But [C] I still crave your approval
[G] And I'm helpless [D] when you [A] criticize
_ _ _ [C] _
Criticize
[G] There's this written on [Em] the wall
I'm gonna give a good time
[A] Look in your eyes
[G] Hear the glare [C] of the sun
[G] Such a yuckle banger
[Em]
When you [A] say [Gm] goodbye
[C] The way that you linger
[G]
The way that you [Em] lie [G] Yeah _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] You saw [C] me through the keyhole
[Gm] The door that [D] I kept locked
[Em] But [C] I decorate the threshold
[G]
Just in [D] case you knock
[Em] My [C] pain on the edges
[G] You will never [D] come to know
[E] The [C] one that feeds on the corns
[G]
Whenever [D] and [G] wherever
[A] The river shuns
The [C]
first stroke
_ [G] _ _ _ [Em] On the fib of my tongue
[A] Look in my eyes
[G]
Hear the glare [C] of the sun
[G] Such a yuckle banger
When I say goodbye
The way [C] that I linger
[D]
The way that I [Em] lie
[G] _ _ _
[D] Who [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] said that [C] love [G] would linger?
Who said that love would [D] last?
[Em] I cannot [Cm] seize the moment
[G] And I will not [D] leave the past
[Em] I don't think [C] there's a greater [G] gift
Than that, can [D] I be sure?
[E] Whenever [C] you're on the gate
[G] You will [D] show me the door
[A] Here I go
_ [G] Here I go
[A] Here I go
_ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ On the [Em] edges, on the fib of my tongue
[A] Look in your eyes
Hear [C] the glare of the sun
[G] Such a yuckle _ _ [A] banger
When I say goodbye
[C] The way that we linger
[G]
[D] The way that we [C] lie
The touch of your fingers
And [D] the look in your [G] [C] eyes
And the way you choose
[G] The way [D] that I
[G] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
[N] How you doing?
All right, great, I enjoyed that.

Come on over, have a seat.
[Eb] Let me ride back.

_ _ _ [B] _ [N] _ A lot of people call you Jonetha.
Yeah.
Not Jonetha at all, is it?
No, it's Jonetha.
