You're reading from,
Dm7
Some other tired script.
Dm7
I'm not gonna,
Gm A7
Meet your mother,

Any-time.
I just wanna,

Grip your body,

Over mine.

You think that's a crime.

All I can ever be to you,
G#m7b5
Is a darkness that we knew,
Gmaj7
And this regret,

Better things at hand.
D6 We could a never had it all, G#m7b5 We had to hit a wall, Gmaj7 So this is, F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G# In-evita-ble withdrawal.
Verse 4:
D6
Even if I stop wanting you,
G#m7b5
A Per-spective pushes through,
Gmaj7 F#m7
I'll be some next man's,
Em9 D/F# G E/G#
Other woman soon.
D6
I can't play myself again,

I should just be,
My own best friend,

With stupid men.

The sky above a blaze,
Em9 F#m7
That only lovers see.
