Verse 2
A
In Polaroids you were dressed
Dsus2
in women's clothes
A
Were you made ashamed,
Dsus2
why'd you lock them in the drawer?

Well I don't think that I ever loved you more
Chorus 1

Than when you turned away
Dsus2
When you slammed the door
D/F#
When you stole the car
E7sus4
drove towards Mexico
A
And you wrote bad checks
Dsus2
just to fill your arm

I was young enough,
E7sus4
I still believed in war

Well let the poets cry themselves to sleep

And all their tearful words

But me I'm a single cell
Dsus2
on a serpents tongue
D/F#
There's a muddy field
E7sus4
where a garden was
A
And I'm glad you got away

But I'm still stuck out here

My clothes are soaking wet
E7sus4
from your brothers tears

The end of paralysis I was a statuette

The sound of loneliness makes me happier
