EPoke at my iris, why F#mcan't I cry about this?
AMaybe there is sE/Bomething that you B/F#know that I don't?
We Eadopt a brand new language, F#mcommunicate through pursed lips,
AYou try not to E/Bput on any B/F#sexy clothes or graces.
EI might never catch a mouse and F#mpresent it in my mouth
AAnd make you feel you're E/Bwith someone who B/F#deserves to be with you.
But there's oEne thing we've got going and it's the F#monly thing worth knowing.
It's got Alots to do with E/Bmagnets and the B/F#pull of the moon.
Why wEon't our love keel over as it F#mchokes on a bone?
AWe can mourn its pE/Bassing and then B/F#bury it in snow.
Or sEhould we kick its cunt in and F#mwatch as it dies from bleeding.
If yAou don't want to E/Bbe with me just B/F#say and I will go.
 A   F#m   C#m(x4)
E
Well wEe can change our partners this is F#ma progressive dance,
But Aremember it was E/Bme who dragged you B/F#up to the sweaty floor
Well Ethis has been a reel
I've got F#mshin-splints and a stitch from we
But lAike a drunken E/Bnight it's the best bits B/F#that are coloured in
Should lEook through some old photos I F#madored you in every one of those.
If sAomeone took a E/Bpicture of us B/F#now they'd need to be told that we
Had Eever clung and tied a F#mnavy knot with arms at night
I'd Asay she was his E/Bsister but she B/F#doesn't have his nose.
EAnd now we're unrelated and F#mrid of all the shit we hated,
But AI hate when I E/Bfeel like this and I B/F#never hated you.

E F#m

Poke at my iris, why can't I cry about this?

A E/B B/F#

Maybe there is something that you know that I don't?

E F#m

We adopt a brand new language, communicate through pursed lips,

A E/B B/F#

You try not to put on any sexy clothes or graces.

E F#m

I might never catch a mouse and present it in my mouth

A E/B B/F#

And make you feel you're with someone who deserves to be with you.

E F#m

But there's one thing we've got going and it's the only thing worth knowing.

A E/B B/F#

It's got lots to do with magnets and the pull of the moon.

E F#m

Why won't our love keel over as it chokes on a bone?

A E/B B/F#

We can mourn its passing and then bury it in snow.

E F#m

Or should we kick its cunt in and watch as it dies from bleeding.

A E/B B/F#

If you don't want to be with me just say and I will go.

E F#m

Well we can change our partners this is a progressive dance,

A E/B B/F#

But remember it was me who dragged you up to the sweaty floor

Well this has been a reel

F#m

I've got shin-splints and a stitch from we

A E/B B/F#

But like a drunken night it's the best bits that are coloured in

E F#m

Should look through some old photos I adored you in every one of those.

A E/B B/F#

If someone took a picture of us now they'd need to be told that we

E F#m

Had ever clung and tied a navy knot with arms at night

A E/B B/F#

I'd say she was his sister but she doesn't have his nose.

E F#m

And now we're unrelated and rid of all the shit we hated,

A E/B B/F#

But I hate when I feel like this and I never hated you.
