Bb F
I caught you caterwauling, giving grief
Gm Dm
Thought you were cannonballing after me
Am F Am Bb C
I let your actions speak for themselves
Dm (picked)
And wished you well
Bb F
But you're a mirror I cannot avoid
Gm Dm
Strung out and jittery and paranoid
Am F Am Bb C
A leaky battery that can't keep charged
Gm Bb C
Get in the car
F Dm
And say what you mean
Bb C F
Explain yourself to me
Gm Dm
And I'll try not to judge you more than you
C
would
F Dm
Let me help,
Bb C F
I promise not to tell
Gm Dm C
Like anyone's asking or anyone should
Bb F
First time I met you, I was full of fear
Gm Dm
Knew that eventually, you'd disappear
Am F Am Bb C
Just when I needed you, you'd burned to smoke
Dm
And off you'd go
F Dm
Just come back
Bb C F
and peel away the mess
Gm Dm C
Lay here beside me and open your eyes
F Dm
Take it back
Bb C F
Your dignity, your tact
Gm Dm C
Turn back to the person you tried to let die
Bb F
I caught you nesting with your analog
Gm Dm
Glassy eyed from kissing poison frogs
Am F Am Bb C
Becoming infinite against his couch
Gm Bb C
Open your mouth
F Dm
And say the words
Bb C F
You used to wish you heard
Gm Dm C
Back when you focused enough to be good
F Dm
And if you're gone
Bb C F
An endless false alarm
Gm Dm
Just remember, I loved you
C
As long as I could
