[Verses]
A E D A
Girl inform me all my senses warn me
F#m C#m G D
Your clever eyes could easily disguise
A E
Some backwards purpose
D A
It's enough to make me nervous.
F#m C#m D E
Do you harbor sighs, or spit in my eye
C
But your lips when we speak
A C A
Are the valleys and peaks of a mountain range on fire.
C Em D
So let me walk these coals till you believe
A D A
I can cut the mustard well enough
F#m E G
Cause you know as soon as breathe we scrutinize
A E D A
Unknown quotients, you must be using potions
F#m C#m G D
How else could you tie my head to the sky
A E D A
This new convection has left me wondering why
F#m C#m D E
I can't concern myself with ordinary tripe.
E->D#->D
E F#m D
Like what's this morning's paper got to say
E F#m D
And which brand of coffee to make
E A D A
This is no umbrella to take into the wind
D A D A E
And before we begin is there nothing to kill this anxiety.
