Tone: [C]
Capo 2
[C]Drownin' in the Blue Nile
He sent me "Downtown Lig[F]hts"
I hadn't heard it in a whi[C]le
My boredom's bone deep
This cage was once just fi[F]ne
Am I allowed to cry?
[C]I dream of crackin' locks
Throwin' my life to the wol[F]ves or the ocean rocks
Crashin' into him ton[C]ight, he's a paradox
I'm seeing visions
Am I ba[F]d or mad or wi[G/F#]se? [G]
What if he's [C]written "Mine"
on my upper [G]thigh only in my mi[Am]nd?
I'm slippin', fallin' ba[C]ck into the hedge ma[G]ze
Oh, what a way to d[Am]ie
I keep recalling thi[F]ngs we never d[G]id
Messy top lip ki[C]ss, how I long for our tri[Am7]ps
Without ever touc[F]hin' his skin
How can [G]I be guilty as sin? [C]
I keep these longings [F]locked
In lowеrcase inside a [C]vault
Someonе told me, "There's no such thing as bad tho[F]ughts
Only your actions ta[C]lk"
These fatal fant[C]asies
Giving way to labored bre[F]ath takin' all of me
We've already done it in my he[C]ad, if it's make-believe
Why does it feel like a vo[F]w we'll both uphold some[G/F#]how? [G]
What if he's [C]written "Mine" on
my upper [G]thigh only in my mi[Am]nd?
I'm slippin', fallin' ba[C]ck into the hedge ma[G]ze
Oh, what a way to d[Am]ie
I keep recalling thi[F]ngs we never d[G]id
Messy top lip ki[C]ss, how I long for our tri[Am7]ps
Without ever touc[F]hin' his skin
How can [G]I be guilty as sin? [C]
What if I [G]roll the stone away? [F]
They're gonna crucify me anyway [C]
What if the way you [G]hold me is actually what's [F]holy?
If long-suffering propr[F]iety is what they wa[G]nt from me
They don't kn[C]ow how you've haunted me so stu[Am7]nningly
I choose y[F]ou and me religio[G]usly
What if he's written "Mine" on
my upper [G]thigh only in my mi[F]nd?
I'm slippin', fallin' ba[C]ck into the hedge ma[G]ze
Oh, what a way to d[Am]ie
I keep recalling thi[F]ngs we never d[G]id
Messy top lip ki[C]ss, how I long for our tri[Am7]ps
Without ever touc[F]hin' his skin
How can [G]I be guilty as sin? [C]
[G] He sent me "Downtown Lig[Am]hts" [C] [G]
