Dsus2 X4
[Verse 1]
Dm
As we were talking outside, it was cold
BbGm
We were shivering, yet warmed by the subject matter
Dm
“My wife is in the next room. We’ve been having troubles, you know
BbGm
Please, don’t tell her or anyone, but I need to talk to somebody”
Dm
You said, “Wouldn’t it be a shame if I knew how great
Bb
I was five minutes before I died?
Gm
I’d be filled with such regret before
Dm
I took my last breath” And I said, “You’re willing to tell me this now,
BbGm
and you’re not gonna to die any time soon”
Dm
And I said, “I haven’t been eating chicken or meat or anything”
BbGm
And you said, “Yes, but you’ve been wearing leather”,
Dm
and laughed and said, “We’re at the top of the food chain,
BbGm
and yes, you’re still a fine woman” And I cringed
[Chorus 1]
D5Csus2Gm
I was hoping, I was hoping we could heal each other
D5Csus2Gm
I was hoping, I was hoping we could be raw together
DmDm
[Verse 2]
Dm
We left the restaurant where the head waiter, in his 60s,
BbGm
said “Goodbye, sir Thank you for your business, sir
Dm
You’re successful and established, sir
BbGm
And we like the frequency with which you dine here, sir… and your money”
Dm
And when I walked by, they said, “Thank you too, dear”
BbGm
I was all pigtails and cords, and there was a day when
Dm
I would’ve said something like, “Hey, dude, I could buy and sell this place,
BbGm
so kiss it” I too once thought I was owed something
[Chorus 2]
D5Csus2Gm
I was hoping, I was hoping we could challenge each other
D5Csus2Gm
I was hoping, I was hoping we could crack each other up
[Verse 3]
DmDm
I too thought that, when proved wrong, I lost somehow
DmDm
And I too once thought life was cruel,
Dm
and it’s a cycle, really You think I’m withdrawing and guilt-tripping you
BbGm
I think you’re insensitive, and I don’t feel heard
Dm
And I said, “Do you believe we are fundamentally judgmental,
BbGmDm
fundamentally evil?”, and you said, “Yes”
Bb
I said, “I don’t believe in revenge, in right or wrong, good or bad”
Gm
You said, “Well, what about that man that I saw handcuffed
Dm
in the emergency room, bleeding after beating his kid,
BbGm
and she threw a shoe at his head? I think what he did was wrong
Dm
and I would’ve had a hard time feeling compassion for him”
BbGm
I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged
[Chorus 3]
D5Csus2Gm
I was hoping, I was hoping we could dance together
D5Csus2Gm
I was hoping, I was hoping we could be creamy together
