Em
There she was
                                     C
Graciously making forever less terrifying
                   Em
And you've got the nerve
to intervene
                                               C
with a coloring book and a byro and a point to prove
                   Em
And now you want a word

        C              Bm           Em
And you washed all the wisdom out your mouth
        C          Bm             Em
and the gas danced on the edge of your bottom lip
C               Bm              Em
Quick to scurry back behind the night
  C                 F            Em
To avoid the silent fight and the struggle

Em
There I was
                                              C
Panicking because someone else kissed me in a dream
                 Em
and it was on the cheek

And you stamp your feet
                                                     C
and I'm moving from bored to appalled by these poignant fumes
             Em
that you must inflict

C                     Bm               Em
And you washed all the wisdom out your mouth
        C          Bm                Em
and the gas danced on the edge of your bottom lip
        C                 Bm                Em
Someone told me that that stench was called advice
        C                 F                Em
Someone told me that that stench was called advice

Em
Took a solid breath
To a little rip
                                                    C
I've got to carry your broach to cover that hideous stitch
                Em
All that grim repair
and we're all upset
See the fear in your cheeks
                                  C
and I still smell the lies on your breath
                    Em
And your jokes don't bounce
           C                           Em
and you've entered the early stages of bitterness

Quick to scurry back behind the night
