[Verse 1]
N.C.
Burn asunder, Make an edit
N.C.
Make apologies a tithe along the way
N.C.
When you keep the credit
N.C.
You’re a thief, but it’s ok
N.C.
Notify your next of kin
N.C.
Let em’ know the house got damned again
N.C.
Open up a window
N.C.
Let us in and you’ll be ok
[Chorus]
Am C/G Am G
I don’t wanna see a supper table
Am C/G Am G
Disallow a love because you’re unable to admit I may
Am C/G Am G
Be a little bolder than you’re capable of owning
C/G Am G
I know I (echoed)
C/G Am G
I don’t wanna compromise
C/G Am G
I don’t wanna compromise
[Verse 2]
N.C.
You were never automatic
N.C.
I coulda quit you on the day you hit My face
N.C.
You get problematic
N.C.
But I won’t, and it’s alright
N.C.
You’re being a coward
N.C.
Only fearing your changed mind
N.C.
So on every referendum you can hide
N.C.
straight ticket, never alright
[Chorus]
Am C/G Am G
I remember flying off a letter
Am C/G Am G
I remember us being together in the cool of the day
Am C/G Am G
I would be bereft if separated, ever, from you
C/G Am G
How could I? How could I?
C/G Am G
I don’t wanna compromise
C/G Am G
I don’t wanna compromise
[Outro]
C/G Am G
Where the hell did your spine go? Did you cut it out? Did it never grow?
C/G Am G
Is it made of fiction and all good intention with nothing to show?
