    The lights are off again,   she took me by surprise

       | F        | C              | G
She's so sensitive,   this shit just happens sometimes

       | F         | C             | G
She's my everything,   she's my best friend and more

          | F       | C         | G
We don't do anything,   we didn't do the day

    Remember long ago,   together laughing, loving

     | F      | C            | G
Oh, so long ago   when we were buying something

       | F         | C             | G
Life was simple then   but she's not happy now, and I

         | F      | C            | G
Don't feel anything   her lips are moving

   | F           | Em
I am mesmerised by tiny lies

  | Eb                               | Dsus4         | D
I'm watching as the shapes are drawing slowly from her eyes
