your husband,
                   E
he drinks like a writer,
                       A
but he writes like a banker,
                         G    D
i hope his pens all run dry.

you watch him from your cave in the corner,
full moon eyes flame and flicker,
the wild way that i like.


This lead part is played during the next verse.

from my part,
i pretend i don't notice
dumb friend you're a poet,
and i could do this all night.

           G
and i'll stay like that,
        D
hands locked in my lap,
        Em                  A
what i want jailed up in my mind,
          G
until i slide to sleep
              D
where you're waitin' for me,
       Em
and we do what we want to,
       A
and shut ourselves off for the night.

Not Muted
D  Em  A  G D

til morning barrels in like a brides maid,
drunk and desperate for her day,
drags me out, picks a fight.

and i see i'm alone here
picture frames and a hot plate
stubborn sun spites the hallways
paint chips blink yellow white.

and i'm stretching, in the act of forgetting,
bear teeth and blood letting,
signals crossed half my life.
 
          G
and the local grown
sees your notes towards my home,
          Em
dreaming fits as we crawl underground,
              G
and you're shedding skin,
so i keep what i can.
        Em
yeah i fill up my pockets,
and stuff all that's left in my mouth.

now you are a part of me,
for as long as i sleep.
i could trick myself into a trance,
where were as firm as facts,
and i don't give you back
every morning the sun comes to shuttle you back to your man. 

Feedback is appreciated.
