Intro: Dm G C C/B Am G F G

	F   
Well I held you like a lover                              
       G			C		C/B Am G            
Happy hands, your elbow in the appropriate place
    F   
And we ignored our others'
	G			   C		  C/B Am G
Happy plans for that delicate look upon your face


    F
Our bodies moved and hardened
	G
Hurting parts of your garden
     C	           C/B
With no room for a pardon
     Am			G		   F	G
In a place where no one knows what we have done


	Dm  G
Do you come
		   C    C/B Am G
Together ever with him?
	  Dm		G
And is he dark enough?
	  C		  C/B Am G
Enough to see your light?
	   Dm				     G
And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
       C	      C/B Am G
Do you miss my smell?
	  Dm			      G
And is he bold enough to take you on?
       C         C/B   Am     G
Do you feel like you belong?
	    F		    G
And does he drive you wild?
	C	     C/B Am G
Or just mildly free?
	   F	G
What about me?


	 F
Well you held me like a lover
       G
Sweaty hands
                    C 		     C/B Am G
And my foot in the appropriate place
       F			G
We use cushions to cover happy glands
                     C		  C/B Am G
In the mild issue of our disgrace


    F
Our minds pressed and guarded
	  G
While our flesh disregarded
    C            C/B            Am
The lack of space for the light-hearted
        G		   F	G
In the boon that beats our drum



       F
Well I know I make you cry
      G
And I know sometimes you wanna die
    C             C/B               Am    G
But do you really feel alive without me?
          F
If so, be free
                      G
If not, leave him for me
                     C	    C/B	Am     G
Before one of us has accidental babies
              F     G
For we are in love




	Dm  G
Do you come
		   C    C/B Am G
Together ever with him?
	  Dm		G
And is he dark enough?
	  C		  C/B Am G
Enough to see your light?
	   Dm				     G
And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
       C	      C/B Am G
Do you miss my smell?
	  Dm			      G
And is he bold enough to take you on?
       C         C/B   Am     G
Do you feel like you belong?
	    F		    G
And does he drive you wild?
	C	     C/B Am G
Or just mildly free?
	   F	
What about me?
	   G
What about me?    
 --------------------------------------    
end it like this if you want.It sounds good after:"What about me?" go straight into
C             C/B               Am    G

But do you really feel alive without me?
          F
If so, be free
                      G
If not, leave him for me
