Comfort and consultation, he knows that's what he'll find

I bring him apples and cheeses, he brings me songs to play

He sees me when he pleases, I see him in cafes
D5 Dsus4
And I only say, hello, and turn away before his lady knows
D7sus4 Dsus4 Asus4
How much I want to see him
D5 Dsus4
She removes him, like a ring to wash her hands
D7sus4 Dsus4 D
She only brings him out to show her friends
C D5 Dsus4D5 Dsus4
(n..) D5addC# D5addC#
I want to free him
Secrets and sharing soda, that's how our time began
Love is a story told to a friend, it's secondhand
But I'll listen to his questions, I'll give my answers when they're found
He says she keeps him guessing, but I know she keeps him down
She speaks in sorry sentences, miraculous repentances
I don't believe her
Tomorrow he will come to me and speak his sorrow endlessly
And ask me why
Why can't I leave her?
He comes for conversation, I comfort him sometimes
Comfort and consultation, he knows that's what he'll find

He knows that's what--- he'll find
