What if you
Decide to
Light fires in airless places
Are the
C
Odds that you'll
Burn your fingers
Or suffer from lack of breath
           A
In the smallest room
Of an unassuming
           A7
Roadside motel

    D
I thought this
         C
In the light
           F
Of your absence
         C
I just might
           Am
Have a cocktail

Stay a few days in this

What if we
Had cold blood
In our average person veins?

         C
In the smoke
           F
Of your excuses

I just might
               Am
Sneak out the back

Write some letters in this
F              C
 Quiet back room

What if we
Could only
See the things we understood?
C
Our eyes would
See empties
Instead of tangled, screwy fulls
 A
All the light and fire
And smoke and blood
And stuff would
Have
   A7

     D
And go

       C
I know I
               F
Don't prefer that

Could breathe without you
        C
I know I'm
         G
Pretty lucky
      F                     C
I just have to think about it
