[Intro]
Dm G C C/B Am G F G
[Verse 1]
F
Well I held you like a lover
G C C/B Am G
Happy hands, your elbow in the appropriate place
F
And we ignored our others'
G C C/B Am G
Happy plans for that delicate look upon your face
F
Our bodies moved and hardened
G
Hurting parts of your garden
C C/B
With no room for a pardon
Am G F G
In a place where no one knows what we have done
[Chorus]
Dm G
Do you come
C C/B Am G
Together ever with him?
Dm G
And is he dark enough?
C C/B Am G
Enough to see your light?
Dm G
And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
C C/B Am G
Do you miss my smell?
Dm G
And is he bold enough to take you on?
C C/B Am G
Do you feel like you belong?
F G
And does he drive you wild?
C C/B Am G
Or just mildly free?
F G
What about me?
[Verse 2]
F
Well you held me like a lover
G
Sweaty hands
C C/B Am G
And my foot in the appropriate place
F G
We use cushions to cover happy glands
C C/B Am G
In the mild issue of our disgrace
F
Our minds pressed and guarded
G
While our flesh disregarded
C C/B Am
The lack of space for the light-hearted
G F G
In the boon that beats our drum
[Bridge]
F
Well I know I make you cry
G
And I know sometimes you wanna die
C C/B Am G
But do you really feel alive without me?
F
If so, be free
G
If not, leave him for me
C C/B Am G
Before one of us has accidental babies
F G
For we are in love
[Chorus 2]
Dm G
Do you come
C C/B Am G
Together ever with him?
Dm G
And is he dark enough?
C C/B Am G
Enough to see your light?
Dm G
And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
C C/B Am G
Do you miss my smell?
Dm G
And is he bold enough to take you on?
C C/B Am G
Do you feel like you belong?
F G
And does he drive you wild?
C C/B Am G
Or just mildly free?
F
What about me?
G
What about me?
end it like this if you want.It sounds good after:"What about me?" go straight into
C C/B Am G
But do you really feel alive without me?
F
If so, be free
G
If not, leave him for me
(C/B chord: its like the C chord but with your third finger slided back a fret)

I play C/B like this. (C/B Major 9th) Sounds good, and it's a simple change from the C chord.E|--0-------------|B|--1-------------|G|--0-------------|D|--0-------------|A|--2-------------|E|--x-------------|

I like to play the C/B by moving my 3rd and 4th fingers down a string, I believe that makes it a C/G or something.
