Em7
Drowning in the Blue Nile
Cmaj7
He sent me "Downtown Lights"
Em7
I hadn't heard it in a while
My boredom was bone deep
Cmaj7
This cage was once just fine
Am I allowed to cry?
Em7
I dream of cracking locks
Cmaj7
Throwing my life to the wolves
Em7
Or the ocean rocks crashing into him tonight
He's a paradox, I'm seeing visions,
Cmaj7
Am I bad or mad or wise?
Gmaj7D
What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh
Cmaj7
Only in my mind?
Gmaj7
One slip and falling back into the hedge maze
DCmaj7
Oh, what a way to die
D
I keep recalling things we never did
Gmaj7
Messy top lip kiss, how I long for our trysts
Cmaj7
Without ever touching his skin
DN.F. Em7
How can I be guilty as sin
Cmaj7
I keep these longings locked
Em7
In lowercase inside a vault
Cmaj7
Someone told me there's no such things as bad thoughts
Only your actions talk
Em7
These fatal fantasies
Cmaj7
Giving way to labored breath, taking all of me
Em7
We've already done it in my head
Cmaj7
If it's make believe, why does it feel like a vow we'll both uphold somehow?
Gmaj7D
What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh
Cmaj7
Only in my mind?
Gmaj7
One slip and falling back into the hedge maze
DCmaj7
Oh, what a way to die
D
My bedsheets are ablaze, I've screamed his name
Gmaj7
Building up like waves crashing over my grave
Cmaj7
Without ever touching his skin
N.F. Gmaj7
How can I be guilty as sin
DCmaj7
What if I roll the stone away?
Gmaj7
They're gonna crucify me anyway
D
What if the way you hold me
Cmaj7N.F.
Is actually what's holy?
Cmaj7D
If long-suffering propiety is what they want from me
Gmaj7Em7
They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly
Cmaj7D N.F.
I choose you and me, religiously
N.C.
What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh
Cmaj7
Only in my mind?
Gmaj7
One slip and falling back into the hedge maze
