J.L. [F#m] Gland with [A] you theatrics, [Em] your acting's a drag
It's [A] okay on TV cause you can turn [Em] it off

[Em] Your
[F#m] sentimental [A] gestures [Em] only bore me to death
[F#m] You've made a desperate appeal, now [Em] save your breath
[F#m] Attachment to obligation, [Em] true guilt and redemption, it's so wet
[F#m] And your sex-love complications are [Em] not my fascinations
