Capo: 2
Verse 1:
[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 [F]bad or mad or [G]wise?
Chorus:
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]
[C]
Verse 2:
[C]I've b[G]een wearing nothing every time[C/E] I call[F] you
And I'm starting to feel weird about it
And [C] [G]sometimes it's better if you think about
[C/E]This [F]time, I think I'm gonna drink through it
I [C]see her [G]online and I don't think that I should be calling
[C/E]All the [F]time, I just wanted a happy ending
I'm [C]pretending I don't [G]care about her stare
While she's giving me a [C/E]tough [F]time
Pre-chorus:
[Dm]Well, I found a motel, it [C/E]looked like the pits
I [Dm]think there'd been a murder so we [C/E]couldn't get in
I [Dm]need to get back, I gotta [C/E]see the girl on the [G]screen
Chorus:
She said, [G]"Maybe I would like you [Am]better
If you took off your [F]clothes
I'm not [G]playing with you, baby
I [Am]think that you should give it a go" [F]
She said, [G]"Maybe I would like you [Am]better
If you took off your [F]clothes"
I wanna [G]see and stop thinking
If you're t[Am]oo shy then let me, to[Dm]o shy then[C/E] let me kno[F]w
But without ever [G]touchin' his skin, how can [Am]I be guilty as [Dm]sin [C] [F]
Bridge:
[G]What if [Am]I roll the stone away
[F]They're gonna crucify me anyway
[G]What if the way you [Am]hold me
Is actually what's [F]holy?
If long-suffering [G]propriety is what they [Am]want from me
They don't [F]know how you've haunted me so stunningly
I choose [G]you and me, re-[Am]-ligiously [F]
[Dm] [C/E] [F] [Dm] [C/E] [F]
Chorus:
What if he's [G]written "mine" on my upper [Am]thigh
Only in my [F]mind
One slip and fallin' [G]back into the hedge maze
[Am]Oh, what a way to [F]die
I keep recalling [G]things we never [Am]did
Messy top-lipped [F]kiss, how I long for our trysts
But without ever [G]touchin' his skin
How can [Am]I be guilty as [F]sin?
And [G]maybe I would like you [Am]better
If you took off your [F]clothes
I wanna [G]see and stop thinking
If you're t[Am]oo shy then let me, to[Dm]o shy then[C/E] let me kno[F]w
But without ever [G]touchin' his skin, how can [Am]I be guilty as [Dm]sin [C] [F]
