Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

as i'm talking my words slip to the floor

and they crawl through your legs, slide under the back door

rendering me

freakish and dazed

well here i am, don't know how to say this

only thing i know is awkward silence

your eyelides close when you're around me

to shut me out

so i'll go walking in the streets until my heels bleed

and i'll sing out my song in case the birds wish to sing along

and i'll dig a tunnel

to the center of the universe

well here i am, don't know how to say this

only thing i know is awkward silence

your eyelides close when you're around me

to shut me out

i'll make my way across the frozen sea

beyond the blank horizon

where i can forget you and me

and get a decent night's sleep

well here i am, don't know how to say this

only thing i know is awkward silence

your eyelides close when you're around me

to shut me out
