E                    F#m
Poke at my iris, why can't I cry 
about this?
A               E/B               
Maybe there is something that you 
B/F#
know that I don't?

   E                          
We adopt a brand new language, 
F#m
communicate through pursed lips,
A              E/B        B/F#
You try not to put on any sexy 
clothes or graces.

E                               
I might never catch a mouse and 
F#m
present it in my mouth
A                        
And make you feel you're with 
E/B              B/F#
someone who deserves to be with you.

             E                 
But there's one thing we've got 
                    F#m
going and it's the only thing worth 
knowing.
         A               E/B      
It's got lots to do with magnets 
       B/F#
and the pull of the moon.

     E                             
Why won't our love keel over as it 
F#m
chokes on a bone?
A                 E/B             
We can mourn its passing and then 
B/F#
bury it in snow.

    E                             
Or should we kick its cunt in and 
F#m
watch as it dies from bleeding.
    A                E/B          
If you don't want to be with me 
   B/F#
just say and I will go.

A F#m C#m (x4)

      E                            
Well we can change our partners 
     F#m
this is a progressive dance,
    A               E/B           
But remember it was me who dragged
     B/F#
 you up to the sweaty floor

     E
Well this has been a reel
         F#m
I've got shin-splints and a stitch 
from we
     A             E/B            
But like a drunken night it's the 
          B/F#
best bits that are coloured in

        E                          
Should look through some old photos
   F#m
 I adored you in every one of those.
    A             E/B           
If someone took a picture of us now 
B/F#
they'd need to be told that we

    E                     F#m
Had ever clung and tied a navy knot 
with arms at night
    A               E/B            
I'd say she was his sister but she 
B/F#
doesn't have his nose.

E                           F#m
And now we're unrelated and rid of 
all the shit we hated,
    A             E/B             
But I hate when I feel like this 
     B/F#
and I never hated you.
