I met you, the year I stopped fearing my body
Bb
The sky split opened above me
C
It was a pleasure to meet your pain
C Gm
In my shadow, you're a model of reason
Bb
Don't coddle don't tease me
C
Don't wake a swarm of bees beneath me
C Gm
Do, Do, Do you want tenderness?
Kiss your mouth for tenderness
Bb C
Settle down for tenderness
C Gm Bb C
C Gm
I've been taught, I should wait to be chosen
Bb
That I haven't known love
C
Until I've been destroyed by love
C Gm
Certain men, can smell a wound a room away
Bb
You are melancholy well
C
Beauty only made you lonelier
C Gm
Do, Do, Do you want tenderness?
Split your lip for tenderness
Bb C
Curse your name for tenderness
C Gm Bb C
C Gm
Do, Do, Do you want tenderness?
Bb
Tenderness
C
Tenderness
C Gm
Do, Do, Do you want tenderness?
Break your leg for tenderness
Bb C
Walk away for tenderness
C Gm
I left town, tucked myself into a mountain
Bb
Became something dark and hungry
C
Still the creek was muttering your name
C Gm
Now your face half lit, electronic
Bb
You no longer need to speak your sentiments
C
I no longer perform innocence
