D Cadd9 G D
D Cadd9 G D
D Cadd9 D G
D Cadd9You wait for a silence
G DI wait for a word
D Cadd9Lying next to your frame
G DGirl unobserved
D Cadd9You change your position
G DYou're changing me
D Cadd9Casting these shadows
D GWhere they shouldn't be
D Cadd9We're interrupted
G DBy the heat of the sun
D Cadd9Trying to prevent
G DWhat's already begun
D Cadd9You're just a body
G DI can smell your skin
D Cadd9And when I feel it
D GYou're wearing thin
AmBut I've got a plan
D Em7Why don't you be the artist
Cadd9 GAnd make me out of clay?
D Em7Why don't you be the writer
Cadd9 GDecide the words I say?
Em7 DCause I'd rather pretend
Cadd9 Em7I'll still be there at the end
G DOnly it's too hard to ask
Cadd9 GWon't you try to help me?
D Cadd9Sat on your sofa
G DIt's all broken springs
D Cadd9This isn't the place for
G DThose violin strings
D Cadd9I try out a smile
G DAnd I aim it at you
D Cadd9You must have missed it
D GYou always Do
AmBut I've got a plan
D Em7Why don't you be the artist
Cadd9 GAnd make me out of clay?
D Em7Why don't you be the writer
Cadd9 GDecide the words I say?
Em7 DCause I'd rather pretend
Cadd9 Em7I'll still be there at the end
G DOnly it's too hard to ask
Cadd9 GWon't you try to help me?
Cadd9You wait
Cadd9I wait
Em7 DCasting shadows
DInterrupted
Cadd9You wait
Cadd9I wait
Em7 DCasting shadows
DInterrupted
Cadd9You wait
Cadd9I wait
Em7 DCasting shadows
DInterrupted
Cadd9You wait
Cadd9I wait
Em7 D Cadd9Casting shadows
D Em7Why don't you be the artist
Cadd9 GAnd make me out of clay?
