Standard (EADGBE)

Wish I could remember

why it mattered to me.

It doesnt matter to me.

It doesnt matter to me

anymore.

Now that youre

feeling fine,

Ill admit that though

I know its coming down,

and see it shattering me

it doesnt matter to me,

and Im not sadder for

seeing it come.

Im not going to run.

I will just come

when I am called.

You want to cut me off

because I took too much,

but dont leave me alone

Take off your scarves,

your winter coat.

The nights too cold.

When we met I should have said

youre like a sister to me,

how all that kiss her just seem

like puny suitors I can see through,

how none will do,

no not for you,

how it might as well just be us two.

And when I pulled you by the jacket

from the clattering street,

you started flattering me,

you started saying I was so strong.

String me along,

but I cant become

all that Im called.

And I cant claim to know

what makes love die or grow,

but I can still take control

and so refuse to just go home,

back down the hall.

And as I crawl,

as finally all

the false confetti blooms

up in this attic room,

Im going make my stand.

I want to see both of your hands

put down the phone.

I wont let you go,

although

the moment stole

my self-control

from us all

and now it can only end

end with a fall.
