     C5           E5
You wait for a silence
   G5          D5
I wait for a word
       C5            E5
Lying next to your frame
 G5       D5
Girl unobserved
      C5           E5
You change your position
          G5     D5
You're changing me
   C5            E5
Casting these shadows
       D5             G5
Where they shouldn't be


C5           E5
We're interrupted
        G5          D5
By the heat of the sun
C5           E5
Trying to prevent
         G5       D5
What's already begun
C5              E5
You're just a body
        G5        D5
I can smell your skin
     C5          E5
And when I feel it
         D5      G5
You're wearing thin


     E5      C5  D5
But I've got a plan
           C5           G5
Why don't you be the artist
     E5             D5
And make me out of clay?
           C5           E5
Why don't you be the writer
  G5                D5
Decide the words I say?
            E5     G5
Cause I'd rather pretend
            D5               C5
I'll still be there at the end
           C5           E5
Only it's too hard to ask
           D5          G5
Won't you try to help me?


C5           E5
Sat on your sofa
     G5            D5
It's all broken springs
       C5           E5
This isn't the place for
        G5        D5
Those violin strings
   C5           E5
I try out a smile
      G5         D5
And I aim it at you
     C5           E5
You must have missed it
       D5    G5
You always do



     E5      C5  D5
But I've got a plan
           C5           G5
Why don't you be the artist
     E5             D5
And make me out of clay?
           C5           E5
Why don't you be the writer
  G5                D5
Decide the words I say?
            E5     G5
Cause I'd rather pretend
            D5               C5
I'll still be there at the end
           C5           E5
Only it's too hard to ask
           D5          G5
Won't you try to help me?

 C5
You wait
        E5
I wait
E5         D5
Casting shadows
    D5
Interrupted


 C5
You wait
        E5
I wait
E5         D5
Casting shadows
    D5
Interrupted



 C5
You wait
        E5
I wait
E5         D5
Casting shadows
    D5
Interrupted


 C5
You wait
        E5
I wait
E5         D5
Casting shadows



     E5      C5  D5
But I've got a plan
           C5           G5

One strum or pick

          C5           G5
Why don't you be the artist
     E5             D5
And make me out of clay?
           C5           E5
