Protection Spells

D               F#         G    
You said "I'm sorry" as you went
          F#
 to leave
     D        A                
And I lit a match to throw down
F#m         G  A
 at your feet
      D                          F#
And screamed "Don't come back"
        G                       F#
As you turned toward the door
        D               A         
And I ached as the flames grew up 
    F#m        G   A
from the floor

           D              A
And I'm tired of going out
          F#                  G
And I'm tired of staying in bed
Continues after the ad
          D               A       
And I'm tired of your heart 
             F#m       G   A
beating its way into my head
      D          A         
The old incantations I kept to 
F#         G
myself
   D                  A           
"I miss you" and "I love you" are 
        F#        G        D
weak protections spells

   D           F#             G  
I held myself to the sound of my 
                     F#
own breath
           D           A          
Settled down and slept in the 
   F#m             G  A
crook of my own neck
         D                      F#
And I looked out the window
         G                  F#
And I wondered aloud
           D                  A   
Will the sun ever come back? I'm 
           F#m    G   A
so tired of the clouds


          D              A
And I'm tired of going out
          F#                  G
And I'm tired of staying in bed
          D               A       
And I'm tired of your heart 
             F#m       G   A
beating its way into my head
      D          A         
The old incantations I kept to 
F#         G
myself
   D                  A           
"I miss you" and "I love you" are
