[Intro]
G C F C
[Verse 1]
G
Why don’t you ever want to play?
C
I’m tired of this piece of string
D
You sleep as much as I do now and you
C G D/F#
Don’t eat much of anything
G
I don’t know who you’re talking to
C
I’ve made a search through every room
D
But all I found was dust that moved
C G D/F#
And shadows of the afternoon
[Chorus 1]
G
And listen
C
About those bitter songs you sing
Am
They’re not helping anything
C G
They won’t make you strong
[Verse 2]
G
So we should open up the house
C
Invite the tabby two doors down
D
You can ask your sister if
C G D/F#
She doesn’t bring her basset hound
G
And as for things you shouldn’t miss
C
Tape hiss and the modern man
D
Cold war and card catalogues
C G D/F#
To come and join us if they can
G
For girly drinks and parlour games
C
We’ll pass around the easy lie
D
Of absolutely no regrets
C G D/F#
Then later maybe you could try
G
To let your losses dangle off
C
The sharp edge of the century
D
We’ll talk about the weather or
C G D/F#
How the weather used to be
[Chorus 2]
G
And I’ll cater
C
With all the birds that I can kill
Am
Let their tiny feathers fill
C
Disappointment
G
Lie down
C
Lick the sorrow from your skin
Am
Scratch the terror and begin
C G
To believe you’re strong
[Instrumental]
G C F C
[Bridge]
G D# Em C
All you ever want to do is drink and watch TV
C G C
Frankly that thing doesn’t really interest me
G D#
I swear I’m going to bite you hard
Em C#
And taste your tinny blood
D# D Em Am
If you don’t stop the self-defeating lies you’ve been repeating
C
Since the day you brought me home
G C F C
I know you’re strong
G C F C
I know you’re strong
G C F C
I know you’re strong
G C F C
I know you’re strong
