Standard (EADGBE)

A cold crash of metal and gears

Grip the wheel as I sit right here

Did she get away, the ghost of a deer

Am I in this all alone?

Well I'm nine, singing carols at Christmas

I am trying to make sense of your tenses

I know a word but not the rest of your sentence

There is nothing I can do

Because I don't understand you

Always felt like I was walking a maze

No one told me to go right or left

Blue or red, what colours disguise me

So I look like all the rest?

Well I'm nine, singing carols at Christmas

I am trying to make sense of your tenses

I know a word but not the rest of your sentence

There is nothing I can do

Because I don't understand you

Your eyes never change their watchful gaze on the T.V. set

They're already a day ahead in the east

Can an island mean more than me?

Well there you are, standing with people like you

It seems I've never seen you laugh like you do

I count the ways I could have been more like you

Well I'm nine, singing carols at Christmas

I am trying to make sense of your tenses

I know a word but not the rest of your sentence

There is nothing I can do

Because I don't understand you
