[F#m] [E]
[Bm]
[G#m] [A] You wait [D] for a silence, [F#m] I wait for [E] a word Lie next [D] to your frame, [F#m] girl [E] unobserved
You [D] change your position, [F#m] and you're [E] changing me
[Bm] Casting these shadows where [A] they shouldn't be
[D] We're interrupted [F#m] by the heat of [E] the sun Trying to [D] prevent [F#m] what's already [E]
begun
[C#m] You're [D] just a body, [F#m] I can [A] smell your [E] skin And [Bm] when I feel it, [A] you're wearing thin
But [D] I've got a plan
Why [F#] don't you [F#m] be the artist [D] and make me [A] out of play?
Why [E] don't you [F#m] be the writer and [D] decide the words [A] I say?
Cause [F#m] I'd rather [Bm] pretend [E] I'll still be [F#m] there at the end
Only [A] it's too hard [Bm] to ask, [E] won't you try to help me?
[Bm] [F#m]
[G#] [D] Sat on your sofa, [F#m] it's all [E] broken springs This [D] isn't the place for [F#m] [E] violent strings
Try [D] out a smile, [F#m] and I aim [E] it at you You [Bm] must've missed it, you [A] always do
[Bm] But I've got [D] a plan
[F#] Why don't you [F#m] be the artist [D] and make me out of [A] play?
Why [E] don't you [F#m] be the writer and [D] decide the words [A] I say?
