G   C
you know just how to
G   C
brew your coffee so
G      C                    Em
every flavour shows its teeth
G                C
You take your time with each
G         C
section of my spine babe,
G             C
you really know just how to
Em
please

G          C
And you’re meticulous with
G      C
every grocery list.
G            C                 Em
You’ve got a garden glowing green


[Pre-Chorus]

C
I smile silently you’re staring back at me, say
Am
tell me what you thinking for a
D7 *
minute


[Chorus]

 G                  D
But I don’t want to tell you why I
Em            C
don’t cry any more
G               D
how many nights I’ve spent clutching my
Em                C
knees against the floor I buy
G                  D
pre-cooked rice
Em                C       Am     D7
and I’m not that nice to myself
G                  D
I don’t want to show you what it’s
 Em               C
like behind my smile
G                  D
so I’ll just keep my thoughts at bay and
Em           C
kiss you for awhile let’s
G          C
keep our lips busy
G          C
get a little dizzier
G          C              Am
blurring this illusion that I built for you
D7               G     C   G
don’t shatter it now
   C              G     C G C
don’t shatter it now


[Verse 2]

G          C
You get up early
G          C
you go on runs
   G                C
6 miles through the city
G          C
just for fun

Em
you revel in the stillness of the
Em
morning
Am
invite me to the desert without
D7
any sort of warning

G *        C *     G *  C *
I take my pills at 11
G *         C *         Em *
get out of bed at quarter to
G             C
can’t seem to find where I
G                  C
misplaced my peace of mind but
Am                              D7
believe it or not this is how I heal


[Chorus]

 G                  D
But I don’t want to tell you why I
Em            C
don’t cry any more
G               D
how many nights I’ve spent clutching my
Em                C
knees against the floor I buy
G                  D
pre-cooked rice
Em                C       Am     D7
and I’m not that nice to myself
G                  D
I don’t want to show you what it’s
Em                C
like behind my smile
G                  D
so I’ll just keep my thoughts at bay and
Em           C
kiss you for awhile let’s
G          C
keep our lips busy
G          C
get a little dizzier
G          C              Am
blurring this illusion that I built for you
D7               G     C   G
don’t shatter it now
      C           G     C G C
don’t shatter it now


[Bridge]

G              C
you can buy me Jade, we can
G        C
 hope it grows but
Am
today I’m still so petrified
D
to genuinely show you who I
D7                      D7*
am, but I’ll eat your home-made jam, oh


[Otro]

G *                D *
I don’t want to cry for you
        Em *        C *
I won’t open up that door
G *                D *
so I’ll just get my things and drive
Em *            C *
away just like before, I’ll try to
G                  D
keep myself busy
Em              C
  stop getting dizzier
Am
hide behind this cold aloof illusion
C                          
so for the sake of settling confusion,
D7 *          G *
  it’s over now
