From 24C

Intro: C#, A#m, F#, G#

C#
Digits dial, digits dial...tone, 
monotone
    A#m
Has she been feigning sleeping?

Framing sheep and all alone?
F#
Downside on the sidewalk,

I'm a distant ring
       G#
Out of body, out of body,

Pick me up, oh answer me

C#
I just hurry over

Worried sick

And hoping, sick.
A#m
Gates are courting airplanes,

and clocks divorcing ticks
         F#
Before I left, thought I'd see you

At the show, you didn't show
       G#
Didn't message, didn't call

You didn't know, didn't you know?

      A#m
I'm a liar too
                     Gm
Uh huh, that's why I think I 
understand you
A#m
Someone from your building holds for
 me a door
            F
I'm in your lobby, your elevator

I'm on your floor, the second floor

      A#m
I can hear you now
        Gm
With my ear pressed to the vent
       A#m
You're playing that cassette tape
F                                
That you took from me to take to 
Cm F
Iowa
             Cm               G#
And that was near three years ago
        F#
Now I'm back up in that moment
G#                        C#
Playing that yardsale Casio

          C#
I sang to you from a red room
                A#m
(Together we'll grey, grey, grey)
        F#
Does he sing to you as well?
     G#
Much better, most would say

           C#
I hear him laughing
         A#m
But I prefer this to the silence
          F#
When your lips are sealed against 
his

Or he fills your thighs with kisses
            G#
Or just for instance

He's clawing your fat,

Pushing your breaths into the 
mattress

              A#m
You'll love a good many men, mmhmm
           Gm
And loving me ain't gonna stop all 
of them
     A#m
Like Adam we are flawed

In the image of our gods
       F
Of our fathers, who never bothered
                              A#m
To consider they were not the only 
ones


Faith, ohhhh,
         Gm
Faith oh faith, is a way to believe 
lies we need
           A#m
Then to be faithful is to be 
truthless

But that's more than I need to say
        F
Oh just don't run off and get 
married

And I'll surely be okay

       Cm     F
'Cause I love you
               Cm        G#
They'll love a good many yous
      F#
Gotta go now

Pack my suitcase

Glad that you're okay,
      G#
And I love you, happy birthday,
                    C#
See you in sixteen days.
