A          D         Bm      E          F#m
Everything had to be exactly as you had planned it
A          D         Bm      E        F#m
Everything had to be exactly as you designed
    A         D            Bm        E     F#m
The sadness inside you was lost on exactly no one
            A       D         Bm       E       F#m
And there's nothing heroic or stoic in being a mime

Bm
Hey little girl is there room inside your world
      F#m
For a groom without a pearl or a diamond on his mind
        Bm
Did you think that for a second on the brink
                                                          
That you could let me take a drink and bet that would 
        F#m
not climb inside over my primly pride
Bm   F#m  Bm   F#m
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

See you walking down the hall kinda tall it isn't all 
like Bacall and
I'm gonna pucker up and blow you right out of the seams 
of your suits and 
the dreams will be roots for the teams in cahoots
My demons loving you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Chorus:
E                E7         A            Asus4
There is only so much I can give without return and
E                     E7        
Maybe a song Maybe a few Maybe not
       A                    Asus4
Maybe, finally fuck it and just take a shot
    G                           D    
And I'm battered, broken barely hoping remade token
        F#m
I would crawl back to you and say thanks I needed that
            B
It's been a while
        F#m
I would crawl back to you and say thanks I needed that
            C#
It's been a while
Bm   F#m  Bm   F#m
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Smoother skinned than most she was and beautiful and 
just because I thought I'd be a doomsday gift I placed 
the rift
I was callous first and cavalier and dropping verses she 
could hear the sad refrain of inner pain
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Chorus

I'm gonna grope I'm gonna grasp
'Cause I must
It's my rope and my ass and my doom for my lusting of you
Throw me a thin spider line, I'll be fine, as I climb the 
mine to my divine
