C Am Stifling this day is stifling F You're sprawled out like a king G C On the sheets of my queen-sized bed C Am And I'm too hot to lie beside F Possessed of idle mind
G C This calm is a false friend C Am Jealousy I suspect jealousy F Something is changing me G C Real slow from the inside out C Am It seems you mean too much to me F Too much for comfort see G C The cause is the cure now C F We fought a silent war G C Am In the hardware store and the air was thick as paint F G Though I carried it on I knew that I was wrong C Am But I fight when I'm afraid F Dm G C And I come with guns a-blaaaaazing C Am Someone once I forget who it was F Said Do not think so much G C You can't hear what your heart says C Am But it speaks it tugs and puddle-leaps F And bangs my ribs to pieces G C Thoughts are the safe bet C F We fought a silent war G C Am In the hardware store and the air was thick as paint F G Though I carried it on I knew that I was wrong C Am But I fight when I'm afraid F Dm My guns will come a-blazing F G C A lesser man would be afraid Dm C Dm C And Oh how you razed me oh to the ground Dm Am F And love oh you brought me down Dm G G7 C With the sound of the shaming as you went out C F Dm G C The cause is the cure now C F We fought a silent war G C Am In the hardware store and the air was thick as paint F G Though I carried it on I knew that I was wrong C Am But I fight when I'm afraid F Dm With guns I come a-blazing F Dm A lesser man would break free F G C I'm sorry 's all I meant to say
