[Intro]
D  D  Bm  A
[Verse]
  DHurt and baffled I simmer and freeze
  I'm Bmsqueezing my words like I'm Aicing a bomb
  DBlame me if it gets you to sleep
  But Bmmind how you go as you Aget 'til you're gone
[Pre-Chorus]
  BmYour heart could Deasily power three of meA  
  BmShould my love get Dlost in the deliveryA  
[Chorus]
BmMay brings a supermoon, Dgold and relentless
And the Gdog bats of Melbourne fall from the blue
GSwerving casinos and Dswatting at memories of Ayou
[Break]
D
[Verse]
  DDon't talk like were stuck in a lift
  BmWhy would I be missing you so Aviolently
  DWe're all the hero when directing the scene
  But Bmtherapy for liars is a Agiant ice cream
[Pre-Chorus]
  BmYour heart could Deasily power three of meA  
  BmShould my love get Dlost in the deliveryA  
[Chorus]
The Bmlights on your father's Dbridge on the harbor
GMontparnasse dawn for the sleepless insane
GCaught in our personal Drain again and aAgain
BmSerious love for the Dlongest of lives
GNot a regret when these mumbles are through
GGatecrashing weddings and Dswatting at memories of Ayou
