Tone: [Eb]
Intro: Madeleine Hyland
In the [Eb]back of a cab
Like a puppet with no strings
Un[Bb]Untangling my headphones
cos sometimes they’re the only thing
That [Cm]keeps my head in place
That keeps my head in[Eb]in place
Verse 1: Joey Batey
[Eb]Arriving at the door
I hope to god I’m not the first
My [Bb]heart is tearing pages from
that funny story I rehearsed
And I [Cm]know I won’t be long
Cos I know I don’t be[Eb]belong
Verse 2: Madeleine Hyland
[Eb]Cos though my jokes are my armour
And my kindness is my sword
The [Bb]party swirls around me in a dress I can’t afford
And I[Cm]I do my best to breathe
But they’re stealing all the [Eb]air
Verse 4: Joey Batey
[Eb]And the hum from the fridge’ll
Sing me soft littlе vigils
As [Bb]all my steps too far keep
telling me ‘this is who you are’
[Cm]I should go home
I’m not [Ab]lonеly I just like being on my own
Chorus: Both
[Cm]And I’ll sing silence
And [Bb]ask my glass of wine for guidance
[Ab]I might not make it ton[Bb]tonight
And [Cm]I’ll speak with my eyes
You’ll [Bb]think I’m weird, one sympathises
[Ab]I might not make it ton[Bb]tonight
Post-Chorus: Both
Because [Cm]I don’t [Bb]find this e[Ab]easy like yo[Bb]you
Gonna go home and show my [Cm]cat some [Bb]memes
Cos he’s [Ab]awesome
Like [Bb]me
Like[Cm]Like me
Interlude:
[Bb] [Eb] [Ab] [Bb]
Verse 5:
Joey Batey
Now I’m [Eb]lying on a bed full of coats
Trying desperately to [Bb]cope
When you open up the door, say something stupid like
Both
‘You’re [Cm]lying on some coats’
Joey Batey
I say I know
It’s just sometimes nice to [Ab]feel what
it’s like to be in someone else’s coat
Bridge:
Both
And we’re [Eb]bursting at the seams
Joey Batey
Cos the noise is crushing us
We think it’s [Bb]so much worse than it seems
Both
But that voice unsaid is rushing us
Joey Batey
And in a [Cm]moment of total rapture
And with every strength I have
I [Ab]ask if you play D&D
And your face lights up like you’ve woken up
From this [Cm]endless xxxxing
nightmare of pretending this is you
This is [Bb]us, this is me and
this how we’re meant to be
But your [Ab]smile tells me I’m safe
Both
And that voice unspoken’s heard
Cos if [Bb]god make us all in his image
Then god’s a xxxxing nerd
Chorus: Both
And [Cm]I’ll sing silence
And [Bb]ask my glass of wine for guidance
[Ab]I might not make it ton[Bb]tonight
And [Cm]I’ll speak with my eyes
You [Bb]think I’m neat, I’m not surprised
That[Ab]That I might not make it ton[Bb]tonight
Post-Chorus: Both
Because [Cm]I don’t [Bb]find this e[Ab]easy like yo[Bb]you
Gonna go home and dress my [Cm]cat up like [Bb]Batman
Cos he’s [Ab]awesome like m[Bb]me
Madeleine Hyland
And [Cm]I don’t [Bb]find this e[Ab]easy like yo[Bb]you
I’m not [Cm]lonely
I [Bb]just like being on my o[Ab]own
With [Bb]you
Joey Batey
And [Cm]I’ll sing silence and [Bb]ask
my glass of wine for guidance
[Ab]I might not make it ton[Bb]tonight
Gonna go home and tell my [Cm]cat I’m not [Bb]lonely if I[Ab]I’m
With [Bb]you
Outro:
Both
In the [Eb]back of a cab, like
two puppets with no strings
We [Bb]share a pair of headphones, cos
sometimes they’re the only things
Madeleine Hyland
That [Cm]keep our heads in place
That keep our heads in [Eb]place
