[Verse 1]
        F   
Well I held you like a lover                              
       G                        C              C/B Am G            
Happy hands, your elbow in the appropriate place
    F   
And we ignored our others'
        G                          C             C/B Am G
Happy plans for that delicate look upon your face
    F
Our bodies moved and hardened
        G
Hurting parts of your garden
     C             C/B
With no room for a pardon
     Am                 G                 F   G
In a place where no one knows what we have done

[Chorus]
        Dm  G
Do you come
                   C    C/B Am G
Together ever with him?
          Dm            G
And is he dark enough?
          C               C/B Am G
Enough to see your light?
           Dm                                G
And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
       C              C/B Am G
Do you miss my smell?
          Dm                          G
And is he bold enough to take you on?
       C         C/B   Am     G
Do you feel like you belong?
            F               G
And does he drive you wild?
        C            C/B Am G
Or just mildly free?
           F    G
What about me?

[Verse 2]
         F
Well you held me like a lover
       G
Sweaty hands
                    C                C/B Am G
And my foot in the appropriate place
       F                        G
We use cushions to cover happy glands
                     C            C/B Am G
In the mild issue of our disgrace
    F
Our minds pressed and guarded
          G
While our flesh disregarded
    C            C/B            Am
The lack of space for the light-hearted
        G                  F   G
In the boon that beats our drum

[Bridge]
       F
Well I know I make you cry
      G
And I know sometimes you wanna die
    C             C/B               Am    G
But do you really feel alive without me?
          F
If so, be free
                      G
If not, leave him for me
                     C      C/B        Am     G
Before one of us has accidental babies
              F     G
For we are in love

[Chorus 2]
        Dm  G
Do you come
                   C    C/B Am G
Together ever with him?
          Dm            G
And is he dark enough?
          C               C/B Am G
Enough to see your light?
           Dm                                G
And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
       C              C/B Am G
Do you miss my smell?
          Dm                          G
And is he bold enough to take you on?
       C         C/B   Am     G
Do you feel like you belong?
            F               G
And does he drive you wild?
        C            C/B Am G
Or just mildly free?
           F    
What about me?
           G
What about me?    
end it like this if you want.It sounds good after:"What about me?" go straight into
C             C/B               Am    G
But do you really feel alive without me?
          F
If so, be free
                      G
If not, leave him for me
