(step down for just one beat every 
time)

[Verse 1]
            Bm                  
You've been living awhile in the 
 D
front of my skull
       G        D F#m
Making orders
            Bm               
You've been writing me rules, 
  D
shrinking maps
              G        D F#m
And redrawing borders
           Bm
I've been repeating your speeches
         D                    G   
But the audience just doesn't 
    D F#m
follow
            Bm                
Because I'm leaving out words, 
       D
punctuation
                     G      D F#m
And it sounds pretty hollow
           Bm             D
I've been living in bed because now
                 G  D F#m
You tell me to sleep
          Bm                    
I've been hiding my voice and my 
 D
face

                      G  D F#m
And you decide when I eat
         Bm
In your dreams I'm a criminal
 D                 G       D F#m
Horrible, sleeping around
              Bm
While you're awake I'm impossible
D                      G    D F#m
Constantly letting you down


[Verse 2]
        Bm
Little porcelain figurines
      D                        G  
Glass bullets you shoot at the 
  D F#m
wall
           Bm
Threats of castration for crimes
    D                        G     
You imagine when I miss your call
D F#m

         Bm                        
With the bite of the teeth of that 
D
ring on my finger
    G                          
I'm bound to your bedside, your 
 D      F#m
eulogy singer
    Bm                      D
I'd happily take all those bullets 
inside you
    G                     D   F#m
And put them inside of myself

Em D Bm A


[Verse 3]
Em           D
Someone, oh anyone
 Bm             A
Tell me how to stop this
        Em         D
She's screaming, expiring
     Bm           A
And I'm her only witness
     Em          D
I'm freezing, infected
     Bm            A
And rigid in that room inside her
    Em           D             Bm
No one's gonna come as long as I 
             A
lay still in bed beside her
