The Ponytail Parade

A
Three sleepless nights
            C#m
This isn't how its supposed to be.

   B
But you are so good at
A                     C#m
taking your time to get back to me.

C#m                    B
I will wait for you forever,
   A                  C#m
if you would just ask me.
                         B
I thought that I could change you
A        F#m     E
but you changed me.
C#m
It doesn't feel right,
           B
holding someone else's hand.

             C#m
Together on phone line,
               B      F#m
and living at two opposite ends.

C#m
It scares me to think,
      B                      A
that you could find takers other than me
  F#m
and better than me.
C#m
But you're head is elsewhere,
          B
and I’m talking enough for both of us.
A             F#m     C#m
When will you see it's not (it’s not) so easy for me
C#m               B                A
you’re careless, and whispered, insulting, and bruising.
C#m                   B
And I thought that you said
A
things were improving.
     C#m          B
These laces are untied,
    A                  Am
but my feet are still walking away.
(I fall from you eyes, your eyes I trusted, you said forever)
E                    C#m
I never thought that you could say these words.
A
Is this really happening?
E                    C#m
I never thought that you could say these words.
(Don't say...)
A
Is this really happening?
E                     C#m
I never thought that you could say these words.
(Don't say that we can...)
A
Is this really happening?
E                    C#m
I never thought that you could say these words.
(Don't say that we can still be...)
A
Is this really happening?
E                     C#m
I never thought that you could say these words.
A
Is this really happening?
(Don't say that we can still be friends)
Erase my name from this page.
C#m
             A         F#m
How can you take all these days
(What is inside of me what have I done?)
C#m            B
and throw them away
(Is this the only way that you will notice me?)
A              F#m          C#m
as I sit here waiting for you (for you)
(Dead words for closed ears all this is sung for you)
A           F#m
I stay up nights
(If you are still pretending this is what's right)
 C#m                 B
until stars leave the sky
(Why can't you look at me can you only see?)
A              F#m          C#m
knowing what my dreams can take away
(One side, your side, can take away)
