The Squeaky Wheel

A
There's my suitor, struggling to find his footing
Am           Dm            C                G
Lost, awoken alone, after sleeping off inebriation
A                                                 Am
I forget that I've been holding my tongue for so long
                Dm      C                        G
Cause we had a run, so don your Sunday best and wake up

A                                                    Am
You went missing, never mind the life I was wishing for
                 Dm             C                       G
Cause you'd had enough, but at least you got enough to fake it
A                                         Am                Dm
I'll keep smiling, optimistically denying what I feared the most
          C                F       E
That you disappeared and leave me wondering

D                             A
Was I just a playful pawn, a trophy you had won?
D                                      A
Someone who could lift you when you're low?
D                          A
Innocence to prey upon, or allies in the sun?
D                                  A
Heaven sent, or just hell bent on love?

F         C         Bb     F G A
Aaaaaaaaaaaah       aaaaaaaaaaaah
A
Darling liar, always running through the brier
Am                     Dm
What, the cuts aren't enough?
        C                    G
Just an aggravation you'd forget like
A                                       Am
Promised patience, halitic alleviations of
                 Dm          C              F    E
What I should've known was a sign of future expiration

D                            A

Heaven sent, or just hell bent on love?

F         C      Bb    F  D/A G     C    Bb   F
Aaaaaaaaaaaah    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah    Aaaaaaaaaaaah
G                 C     Bb                   F      G
So will I marry a myth? Or is there room for second chances?
F                     C            Bb    F
The lust lives in the dark and may never show

           Dm                G
Well, the battle ended years ago
    C               G/B     Am  G
Now this is how you say hello
Fm                         C
Well where'd you take your leave?
   Dm               C/E           D/F#          G
Or would you rather keep another trick up your sleeve?
Dm               G
Do you remember love?
        C         G/B               Am      G
How you said you really never could feel enough?
Fm                      C
Well did you give it a try?
Dm                                      F  C  F  C
Why don't you open your eyes and let me know, know?

F                            C
Was I just a playful pawn, a trophy you had won?
F                                      C

Innocence to prey upon, or allies in the sun?
F                               C
Heaven sent, just hell bent on love?

Ab       Eb      Db      Ab Bb C
Aaaaaaaaaaaah    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Dm                   G
What will happen to us?
       C           G/B       Am  G
Do you think we'll make the cut?
Fm                  C
Should we give it a try?
Fm                 C
Give an eye for an eye?
Fm                    Am
Give ourselves to the lie?
