Cmaj7

I think I've had enough of your world today

Asus2 F

My head has opened up, and your pictures fall like rain

Dm G

In front of my face they spin

Cmaj7

We were corresponding shapes like the rocks in a ledge

Asus2 F

Now this puzzle has been rained upon, and the corners lost their edge

Dm G

Nothing fits as it once did

Ab(#11)

But at least we had finished at -

Am Amadd9 Fmaj7

G* Am*

All over this room I reign you are

Am Amadd9 Fmaj7

G* Am*

All over this room I reign you are

Am Amadd9 Fmaj7

G* Am*

All over this room I reign you are

What's wrong with that?

Nothing, I guess

Cmaj7

So I entertain my mind with little ticks and movie flicks

Asus2

Combinations of quirky comedies, but they've all got romantic twists

F Dm

And when I can't forget I write, that's how this whole thing came to be

G Ab(#11)

It helps me when I'm lonely

Am Amadd9 Fmaj7

Am Amadd9 Fmaj7

G* Am*

All over this room I reign you are

What's wrong with that?

Nothing, I guess

Cmaj7 G

So I guess you're right, I did abhor

Asus2

The awkward silence we endured

And spoke a truce to stop the swell

Cmaj7

And slow this spinning carousel

Yet still it spun from time to time

Asus2

Laced with mistrust that cracked the spine

This feeble frame just would not hold

Cmaj7

And sparked the drifting of two souls

I am not ready nor deserve

Asus2

A line of love that can't be blurred

Into a shallow blotch of lust

Cmaj7

A dirty thought, a pointless fuck

I never properly explained

Asus2

This bodied beauty you contain

Is too much for a man to take

Am G* Am* F

All over this room I reign you are

Am G* Am* F

All over this room I reign you are

Am G* Am* F

All over this room I reign you are

What's wrong with that?

Nothing, I guess
