CWe never sFleep at night
But we'll sCpend the days Gin bed
And you waClk down the stairs ever so Fgingerly
Could've lCived but I chose to lGove you instCead

FCix me your poison, gFin for your molly
LiCme for your bruises and chGalk for your holly
TCell me you're sleeping
I cD7an't if you won't
Yeah yCou could Gbe my Cown
[Verse 2]
The way that you smCile when something plFeasant is up in your mind
And you Cput your tiny lips to my eGar
We could bCreak this old routine, this apaFrtment you and me
We could leCave this tGown my Cdear
[Chorus]
RaCts in your armchair, buFrrs in your cotton
BaCby turn my engines from poGlished to rotten
PCromise you'll keep me in a bD7ox by the phone
Yeah yCou could Gbe my oCwn
[Verse 3]
Would you burn Call the crows Fin my fields?

Your clCothes on the floor, yeah your brGuises are showing
AirplCanes can take you to PD7aris or Rome

It's juCst like the movies, yeah your pGarents are crying
Our famCily's all gathered but weD7're getting stoned
Yeah yoCu could bGe my owCn
I left all her pictCures in a bD7ox by the road
So yCou could Gbe my oCwn
