E           Am
i desire to tumble
F                  C  C/B
i walk through the garden
E                   Am
i don't speak well i mumble
F                C  C/B
to life's little tragedy
E                 Am
if you touch me i crumble
F                    C           C/B
this song's from the wishing you well
E               Am
not a boob or a bungle
F            C    C/B
just another butt to sniff

[Interlude]
F              Em
half our lives surmise
C               Em
for only you to decipher
F               G     Am
our reasons are quite tame
F             Em
one by one we die
C               Em
and our secrets die within us
F              G       C
there's no one left to blame

[Chorus]
C     G  F   C     G  F
shame on me, shame on you

[Verse]
E                      Am
Scratchy cheeks and an earring
F                    C   C/B
I scurry to find the camera
E                   Am
He's not angry he's seething
F                   C  C/B
My pictures always turn out wrong
E                    Am
He's not crying he's teething
F                        C     C/B
The pains of growing are going fine
E                        Am
There's some spit on the ceiling
F                C        C/B
Pretty soon it's going to drop

[Interlude]
F              Em
In the bed you lay
C                        Em
Praying for sleep and it never comes
F        G          Am
It never works that way
F               Em
All the rest is done
C                             Em
All you really can do is just sit up
F           G         C
And start a brand new day

[Chorus]
C     G  F   C     G  F
shame on me, shame on you
