Intro:
E G#m F# B E G#m F#
Verse 1:
Shaking my teBeth loose on your table
The dullest white sEquares I'll never be
Now that you've pBicked each one apart you can't
look at Eme
I'll probably lose you G#mnow
But at least the ones I hF#ave still sparkle
Refrain:
B(hold)
Chorus:
EPutting on your makeup everyday before he wakes up
So he could sG#mtomach your face now easier than he
could withF#out
Yeah this is love
This is all that you could want
 B(hold)
Open equals heavier
EHold your hand out palm side up
Open, empty, light enough
G#mMinutes all turn to months
This is one thing we have all learned
F#Equations always make up a sum
But it doesn't add up
Verse 2:
(Repeat Verse 1 chords)
Signing up for that second semester
Because you won't marry me without the degree
Once I fix things up right you wont be so
embarrassed of me
But I'll never make it now
But at least looking in the mirror wont feel like
lying
Refrain:
EPosing for your still visions
Acedemic postcard prisons
BRaise your chin, love
EPurged a poem I swore was finished
Heaping lines half chewed unconscious
BSettle on a plot, chalk another loss
Stage set for
Chorus:
EBreathing and choking on swallowed conversations
Clutching and crawling for constant validation
G#mStill nailed in the ruins of corporate
co-dependence
Still stuck on the thought that you're the one
exception
F#All the while the same
BI'm worried that the purpose is
EHow I look, not how I lived
Let's get dolled up and play pretend
G#mCause nothing stays honest when
Every thought is cursed with intent
F#A pulse covered in skin and words covered in lips
BThe taste of regret as it leaves your stomach
ECoating your tongue with every noun
BWatery eyes the only thing that makes sense noEw
Spitting your insides oG#mut
Start over
Start ovF#er
Start over
Start over
Start over
End on B.

G#m

Intro:

E G#m F# B E G#m F#

Verse 1:

Shaking my teeth loose on your table

The dullest white squares I'll never be

Now that you've picked each one apart you can't

look at me

G#m

I'll probably lose you now

But at least the ones I have still sparkle

Refrain:

(hold)

Chorus:

Putting on your makeup everyday before he wakes up

G#m

So he could stomach your face now easier than he

could without

Yeah this is love

This is all that you could want

(hold)

Open equals heavier

Hold your hand out palm side up

Open, empty, light enough

G#m

Minutes all turn to months

This is one thing we have all learned

Equations always make up a sum

But it doesn't add up

Verse 2:

(Repeat Verse 1 chords)

Signing up for that second semester

Because you won't marry me without the degree

Once I fix things up right you wont be so

embarrassed of me

But I'll never make it now

But at least looking in the mirror wont feel like

Refrain:

Posing for your still visions

Acedemic postcard prisons

Raise your chin, love

Purged a poem I swore was finished

Heaping lines half chewed unconscious

Settle on a plot, chalk another loss

Stage set for

Chorus:

Breathing and choking on swallowed conversations

Clutching and crawling for constant validation

Still nailed in the ruins of corporate

co-dependence

Still stuck on the thought that you're the one

exception

All the while the same

I'm worried that the purpose is

How I look, not how I lived

Let's get dolled up and play pretend

G#m

Cause nothing stays honest when

Every thought is cursed with intent

A pulse covered in skin and words covered in lips

The taste of regret as it leaves your stomach

Coating your tongue with every noun

B E

Watery eyes the only thing that makes sense now

G#m

Spitting your insides out

Start over

End on B.
