Closed Doors Closed Minds

C                  C#        D#         G#
Why do words like "love" and actions of affection
C         C#             D#         G#
Get taken as a threat or promise of devotion
C  C#  D#         G#
Instead of just accepted
F       A#               D#
For the beauty that they have?

C        C#           D#       G#
When you tell someone that you love them
C                    C#          D#        G#
They act like you're taking away all their freedom
C    C#  D#        G#
          But it's giving
F        A#      D#
It's not taking away

G#                        C#
Love and friendship don't restrict and bind
F                             D#
Those chains are only in your mind
G#
Doesn't have to be, doesn't have to be
C#
Doesn't have to be, doesn't have to be
A#       D#
Does not have to be
     G# D#/G
That way
     F D#
That way
     C# G#/C A# D#
That way

G#                   G#/C
People act like it's something to be ashamed of
F                      D#
To lock away or hide behind closed doors
C#           G#/C         A#            D#
This kind of secrecy only breeds social scheming
G#      G#/C         F        D#
Gossip, lies, and misunderstanding
C#         G#/C                   A#              D#
It doesn't seem that appealing, that appealing to me

C                  C#        D#         G#
Why do words like "love" and actions of affection
C         C#             D#         G#
Get taken as a threat or promise of devotion
C  C#  D#         G#
Instead of just accepted
F       A#               D#
For the beauty that they have?

C                 C#     D#       G#
Why bleed all the meaning out of emotions
C        C#            D#     G#
With all kinds of weird connotations?
C          C#         D#      G#
Words will fuck us up enough, enough
F  A#             D#
...Enough by themselves

G#                        C#
Love and friendship don't restrict and bind
F                             D#
Those chains are only in your mind
G#
Doesn't have to be, doesn't have to be
C#
Doesn't have to be, doesn't have to be
A#       D#              G#
Does not have to be that way
