Cm Gm
You don’t lie to me
Bb Eb Cm Gm
and for all of your poison I enjoy your company
Bb Eb Cm Gm
All the colors that you hide behind your mouth like poetry
Bb Eb Cm Gm Bb Eb
As you slowly take me prisoner I swallow up the key
Cm Gm
Don’t call and don’t write
Bb Eb Cm Gm
you’re quietly courageous and we own the night
Bb Eb Cm Gm
naked and contagious we turn off the lights
Bb Eb Cm Gm Bb Eb
hoping that nobody hears us
[Chorus]
Cm Gm Eb Bb
And no fortune lady is gonna come and save me
Cm Gm Eb Bb
No god will ride the escalator down to the Midwest
Cm Gm Eb Bb
And I might be crazy but at least I got my baby
Cm Gm Eb Gm Cm Gm Bb Eb
and we’re free inside the bars that keep us deep within my chest
[Verse]
Cm Gm Bb Eb
When I was small, long long before I knew you
Cm Gm
I knew how to stand tall
Bb Eb
I knew how to breathe without you
Cm Gm Bb Eb
And I spoke to the dead before I learned how to fear them
Cm Gm
they sat with me on my bed
Bb Eb
Watched me as I slept
Cm Gm
and I felt safe and sound
Bb Eb Cm Gm
A leader with my confidence, I cut the evil down
Bb Eb
with a sword of common sense
Cm Gm Bb Eb
I took care of things I loved with all my heart
Cm Gm Bb Eb
What happened to these things? It’s like I woke up in my future…
[Chorus]
Cm Gm Eb Bb
And no fortune lady is gonna come and save me
Cm Gm Eb Bb
No god will ride the escalator down to the Midwest
Cm Gm Eb Bb
And I might be crazy but at least I got my baby
Cm Gm Eb Gm Bb Eb
and we’re free inside the bars that keep us deep within my chest
Cm Gm Eb Bb
And no fortune lady is gonna come and save me
Cm Gm Eb Bb
No god will ride the escalator down to the Midwest
Cm Gm Eb Bb
And I might be crazy but at least I got my baby
Cm Gm Eb Gm Cm Gm Bb Eb
and we’re free inside the bars that keep us deep within my chest
