Intro:
[E] [G#m] [F#] [B] [E] [G#m] [F#]
Verse 1:
Shaking my te[B]eth loose on your table
The dullest white s[E]quares I'll never be
Now that you've p[B]icked each one apart you can't
look at[E] me
I'll probably lose you [G#m]now
But at least the ones I h[F#]ave still sparkle
Refrain:
B(hold)
Chorus:
[E]Putting on your makeup everyday before he wakes up
So he could s[G#m]tomach your face now easier than he
could with[F#]out
Yeah this is love
This is all that you could want
B (hold)
Open equals heavier
[E]Hold your hand out palm side up
Open, empty, light enough
[G#m]Minutes all turn to months
This is one thing we have all learned
[F#]Equations always make up a sum
But it doesn't add up
Verse 2:
(Repeat Verse 1 chords)
Signing up for that second semester
Because you won't marry me without the degree
Once I fix things up right you wont be so
embarrassed of me
But I'll never make it now
But at least looking in the mirror wont feel like
lying
Refrain:
[E]Posing for your still visions
Acedemic postcard prisons
[B]Raise your chin, love
[E]Purged a poem I swore was finished
Heaping lines half chewed unconscious
[B]Settle on a plot, chalk another loss
Stage set for
Chorus:
[E]Breathing and choking on swallowed conversations
Clutching and crawling for constant validation
[G#m]Still nailed in the ruins of corporate
co-dependence
Still stuck on the thought that you're the one
exception
[F#]All the while the same
[B]I'm worried that the purpose is
[E]How I look, not how I lived
Let's get dolled up and play pretend
[G#m]Cause nothing stays honest when
Every thought is cursed with intent
[F#]A pulse covered in skin and words covered in lips
[B]The taste of regret as it leaves your stomach
[E]Coating your tongue with every noun
[B]Watery eyes the only thing that makes sense no[E]w
Spitting your insides o[G#m]ut
Start over
Start ov[F#]er
Start over
Start over
Start over
End on B.
There you go. (:
