 Ab       E       B                 F#
As I'm talking my words slip to the floor
           Ab                E              B               F#
and they crawl through your legs and slide under the back door
 B    E  Ab F#  B     E      Ab   E
rendering me   freakish and dazed.
 B     F#    Ab         E                B
Well here I am. Don't know how to say this.
  F#          Ab     E             B
Only thing I know is awkward silence.
 F#           Ab          E               B  F#     Ab    E
Your eyelids close when you're around me to shut me out.
Ab          E                 B            F#
So I'll go walking in the streets 'til my heels bleed
            Ab        E               B                    F#
and I'll sing out my song in case the birds wish to sing along.
          B  E  Ab  F#        B     E      Ab   E
And I'll dig a tunnel to the center of the universe.
 B     F#    Ab             E                    B
Well here I am. Don't know how to say this.
  F#          Ab      E                    B
only thing I know is awkward silence.
 F#           Ab          E               B  F#     Ab    E
Your eyelids close when you're around me to shut me out.
 E           Ab             F#      E               Ab          F#
I'll make my way across the frozen sea, beyond the blank horizon,
E            Ab      F#      E             Ab      F#    
where I can forget you and me and get a decent night's sleep.
B     F#     Ab             E                    B
Well here I am. Don't know how to say this.
 F#          Ab           E                    B
only thing I know is awkward silence.
 F#           Ab          E               B  F#     Ab    E
Your eyelids close when you're around me to shut me out.

Don't shut me out.
