Polite Company

 C
She's the edge between the sacred 
and profane
               F
And means at least one other 
language you
                                C
would never speak in Polite Company
She's a dancer, lone riddle in the 
answer
      F
She auditioned for Romantics, but no
 calls from the right company
C                                 
She'll never love the way you need
           Fm7
 her to, darlin'
                          F
You'll never lift her at all
C
She only wants the man she thinks is
 you, darlin'
Fm7                          F
You'll only take her if you think 
you could lose

Am                  F
So what if I don't find you, take 
you back?
C                  Gm
I only want what I can't have
                        F          
If you love me, give me nothing But

C                                 
We're the dance among the 
             F
drunklegs, a contest between
Untied lace, pop-shoegaze, and 808 
C
Heartbreak
C
We both caught the pace of two 
hearts, offbeat

Fm7 F

C
What will hold you when the dance is
 through?
Fm7
Put your back against the wall
C
Follow syncopated water fountain 
conversation
Fm7                  F
Making love inside a crayon covered 
bathroom stall
Dm
What if I don't find you, take you 
there?
C                        Gm
I only want what I can't have
                        F
If you love me, give me nothing, 
nothing

Eb                            Bb
Some simple math, two I can add
I ain't writing it down, I remember 
C                                 
now what you came for, where your 
Bb
aim is
          Eb
Maintain it, try to burn the right 
glow
                  Bb
I'll be on my way out, I'll be over 
soon
          Eb
Sober later, fire that only I'd know
                     Bb
You've been on my Radar
Are you lonely too? 'Cause your 
            Eb
coast is clear

Gm
          Eb   Cm   Bb    Ebm7
to get a hold             on me
She's the edge between the cadence 
of my name
And on these walls another language 
we would never speak
