Cm     Gm
You don’t lie to me
        Bb          Eb        Cm        Gm
and for all of your poison I enjoy your company
         Bb             Eb               Cm         Gm
All the colors that you hide behind your mouth like poetry
       Bb             Eb         Cm             Gm     Bb   Eb
As you slowly take me prisoner I swallow up the key

      Cm             Gm
Don’t call and don’t write
       Bb           Eb           Cm      Gm
you’re quietly courageous and we own the night
Bb             Eb            Cm      Gm
naked and contagious we turn off the lights
            Bb     Eb        Cm Gm Bb Eb
hoping that nobody hears us

[Chorus]

        Cm     Gm            Eb       Bb
And no fortune lady is gonna come and save me
   Cm                  Gm       Eb            Bb
No god will ride the escalator down to the Midwest
      Cm       Gm           Eb             Bb
And I might be crazy but at least I got my baby
          Cm              Gm                 Eb            Gm        Cm Gm Bb Eb
and we’re free inside the bars that keep us deep within my chest

[Verse]

     Cm     Gm         Bb            Eb
When I was small, long long before I knew you
       Cm           Gm
I knew how to stand tall
       Bb                 Eb
I knew how to breathe without you
      Cm           Gm            Bb             Eb
And I spoke to the dead before I learned how to fear them
         Cm            Gm
they sat with me on my bed
Bb              Eb
Watched me as I slept
           Cm       Gm
and I felt safe and sound
  Bb             Eb            Cm            Gm
A leader with my confidence, I cut the evil down
       Bb               Eb
with a sword of common sense
       Cm       Gm       Bb               Eb
I took care of things I loved with all my heart
              Cm       Gm                  Bb             Eb
What happened to these things? It’s like I woke up in my future…

[Chorus]
        Cm     Gm            Eb       Bb
And no fortune lady is gonna come and save me
   Cm                  Gm       Eb            Bb
No god will ride the escalator down to the Midwest
      Cm       Gm           Eb             Bb
And I might be crazy but at least I got my baby
          Cm              Gm                 Eb            Gm       Bb Eb
and we’re free inside the bars that keep us deep within my chest

        Cm     Gm            Eb       Bb
And no fortune lady is gonna come and save me
   Cm                  Gm       Eb            Bb
No god will ride the escalator down to the Midwest
      Cm       Gm           Eb             Bb
And I might be crazy but at least I got my baby
          Cm              Gm                 Eb            Gm        Cm Gm Bb Eb
and we’re free inside the bars that keep us deep within my chest
