Riff 1: Dm, C, Em

    Dm                         C            Em
    She says it helps with the lights out 
    Dm                                C       Em
Her rabid glow is like braille to the night. 
    Dm                            C          Em
    She swears I'm a slave to the details 
             Dm                     F                   C   Em            
But if your life is such a big joke,   why should I care? 


     Dm                                                          C  Em
The clock is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it eight. 
         Dm     
So that you two can take some time, 
                                C   Em
Teach each other to reciprocate. 


Dm                            F                        C           Em
She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid gloves 
    Dm                    F                     C        Em
But she doesn't know that I left my urge in the icebox 
Dm         F                        C        Em                   
She swears    I'm just prey to the female, 
          Dm
Well then hook me up and throw me, 
      F                               C    Em
Baby cakes, 'cause I like to get hooked. 

 
     Dm                                                          C  Em
The clock is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it eight. 
         Dm
All the people that you've loved 
                                       C   Em
They're all bound to leave some keepsakes. 
          Dm
I've been swinging all the time, 
                                C   Em
Think it's time to learn your way. 
         Dm                                             C   Em
Picture you and me together in the jungle it would be ok. 

     Dm                F                          C      Em
I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night 
        Dm             F         C            Em
That is supposing that you don't sleep tonight 


F  Am  C                              F
          It's like learning a new a language 
                            Am        C 
Helps me catch up on my mime 
                             F
If you don't bring up those lonely parts 
                      Am     C  
This could be a good time 
                          F
It's like learning a new language 

                 Am   C
You come here to me 
                     F
We'll collect those lonely parts and set them down 
                 Am C Em     F
You come here to me 

                [Am C Em     F]

Am       C                  Em
She says brief things, her love's a pony

My love's subliminal
