[Verse 1]
D Bm
Rejections a constant, bitterness comes with age
G
Once or twice a lifetime you get days like today
D Bm
And I hope no one pissed on this milk crate
A
I hope no pissed on this milk crate
D
Where there's no tidying up
And nothing falls and no one breaks
Bm
You can't say I'm disgusting
G
If you don't mean it that way
D Bm
And I hope no one comes down this laneway
A
I hope no one comes down this laneway
D
And I woke up before the sun in the arms of a tough girl
Bm G
Heard me speaking lately you've
Heard me speaking about her and
[Pre-Chorus]
D
Last night I said, "I love you" without a hint of fear
Bm A G
Last night I said, "I love you" nothing exploded, no one disappeared
[Chorus]
G A
And the realisation shatters through me
Bm
That I'm the villain in this movie
D
But I've got no script and no direction
A
I just want you to let me love you
G
I just want you to let me love you
D
I just wanted you to let me
[Verse 2]
D Bm
Dialogue is diluted by strangers and thin walls
G
Little murmur runs through the audience
The first time he calls
D Bm
You hang up and a sinking feeling falls amongst the crowd
A
Someone whispers to their wife
D
"My god, what's she doing now?"
"My future never really mattered much at all,"
Bm G
I mutter to you down a telephone lying on the bathroom floor
[Pre-Chorus]
D Bm
And last night I said, "I love you" without fear
A G
Last night I said, "I love you" and I disappeared
[Chorus]
G A
And the realisation shatters through me
Bm
That I'm the villain in this movie
D
But I've got no script and no direction
A
I just want you to let me love you
G
I just want you to let me love you
D Bm
I just wanted you to let me
[Bridge]
D Bm
And all I think I'd need to cast off insecurities
D
Is for you to write something for me
Bm
Like I write for you incessantly
D Bm
But I don't live in your mind the way that you do in mine
D A
And my feet stick to the floor of the shower
Bm G
But we get evicted in three-quarters of an hour
D A Bm G A
And you rub paw-paw on a new tattoo and say, "One day there'll be a song about you."
D Bm
One day there'll be a song for you
G A
One day there'll be a song about you
D Bm
One day there'll be a song for you
G A
One day there'll be a song about you
D Bm
And I know that you hated me that time
D/F# A D
But I've made up for that now haven't I?
Bm D/F A D
Soaked in spotlights spitting vitriol without the corresponding kind
[Outro]
D Bm
One day there'll be a song for you
