Capo on 2nd fret.


VERSE
D
Poke at my iris

Em
Why cant i cry about this

G              D
Maybe there is something that you

Em
Know that i dont...

I might never catch a mouse and present it in my mouth
And make you feel you're with someone who deserves to be with you.

Why won't our love keel over as it chokes on a bone?
We can mourn its passing and then bury it in snow.

Or should we kick its cunt in and watch as it dies from bleeding.
If you don't want to be with me just say and I will go.


CHORUS:
G Em/D x4


VERSE 2:
D
Well we can change our partners

Em
this is a progressive dance
    G               D
But remember it was me who dragged you up to the

Em
sweaty floor.

Well this has been a reel
I've got shin-splints and a stench from weed
But like a drunken night it's the best bits that are coloured in

Should look through some old photos I adored you in every one of those.
If someone took a picture of us now they'd need to be told that we had ever clung on 
and maybe not with arms at night.
I'd say she was his sister but she doesn't have his nose.

And now we're unrelated and rid of all the shit we hated,
But I hate when I feel like this and I never hated you.

CHORUS:
G Em/Dx4
