F = 333200
G = 555400
E            F
Giving in to love
               E
And sharing my time
                F
Letting someone into my misery
 E                    F
I told it all step by step
                     G
How I landed on the island
            F               E
And how I’d swim across the sea
                  F
And it crosses my mind
                               G
That I may awake to a knife in me
        F                                 E
No more breath in my hair or ladies’ underwear
                   F
Tossed up over the alarm clock
                        E                       F
Blood dripping from the bed to a neatly written poem
                 E     F
A heartfelt last line reading
                  G
“There is no more mystery"
               F           E
Is it going to happen, my love?
                  F
“There is no more mystery"
                          G
Is it going to happen, my love?
               F                               E
It’s all in my head, she said, "Morning after nightmare
                  F                                 E
You’re building a wall," she said, "Higher than the both of us
              F                             E
So try living life instead of hiding in the bedroom
          F                             G     F
Show me a smile and I’ll promise not to leave you"
                    E
It happened under a rainy cloud
                    F
Passing through the dark south
               E
We went into a big house
               F
And slept in a small bed
                  E
I didn’t know you then
                  F
As well as you of me
                  E
We talked of our sad lives
            F        G
And we went off separately
             F        E
And we went off separately
                          F
I found your overseas souvenirs
         E
Holiday greeting cards
              F                   G
And some long-forgot high school fears
                F
“It's all in my head," I said
          E
Banging a piano
                  F
“I've not been so alone," I thought
                      G
“Since kicking in the womb"
                F
I drank so much tea
                      E
I wrote my letters in Kanji, yeah
                   F
Around the block I walked and walked
                    E
Pretending you were with me
                F      G
Not wanting to die out here
    F   E
Without you

E F E F G F G F E
                  F
The hurting never ends
                   E
Like birthdays and old friends
                  F
We forget that is flesh
                  E
Blood and bone is human
                        F
Trading phone lines for airlines
             E
Unwilling to face
             F             G
That love is found on the inside
        F
Not the outside
           E
And like a medicine bottle
       F            G
In the cabinet I’ll keep you
           F
And like a medicine bottle
      E           F    G
In my hand I will hold you
    F           E
And swallow you slowly
                F
As to last me a lifetime
                    E
Without holding too tight
                 F   E
I do not want to lose
                   F
The thrill that it gives me
                    E
To look out from my window
                 F
And scowl at the houses
        E           F
From my world in my bedroom
                 G
“It's all in his head," she read
     F                 E
In a girlfriend’s self-help book
                  F
“It's all his own making
               G
A war with himself
                    F
Like two sides of a wall
     E              F
That separates two countries
                 E
He shuts out the world
                   F
And wants only to love you”
               G       F
Not wanting to die out here
     E
Without you
                F      G
Not wanting to die out here
   F    E
Without you
