Spilled out on the tarmac
CI can feel my Bmlegs begin to Am7quake
Oh I Dlove to wear disCguises

Strung out in the Spring air

A Ccontradiction Bmfalling in the Am7ground
I'm a Dmisery withCout you
It's just Bmlike you're still Am7around

As Cfunny as it Dseems
The Amonly time I Dlove you's when you Gleave
