Biography:
Cocteau Twins were an innovative and influential Scottish dream pop band. Forming in 1979 in Grangemouth, Scotland, UK (the name taken from an obscure song by fellow Scots Simple Minds), they built a sound based on woozy atmospherics and singer Elizabeth Fraser's unmatchable vocals, most of which featured lyrics of made-up words and words plucked at random from the dictionary.
Their first release was "Garlands" in 1982 on 4AD Records, which was received well.

A version for acoustic guitar without all the Guthrie-enhanced shoegazer effects.

[Intro]
C-Em-F-C-G-C
[Verse 1]
E Em
It's an old game, my love:
F
When you can't have me, you want me
C G C
Because you know that you're not risking anything
[Chorus]
Em F
Intimacy is while we're in the same place
At the same time
C G
Dealing honestly with how we feel
Am
And who we really are
G Am
That's what grownups do
F C
That is mature thinking
[Verse 2]
E Em
Well I'm still a junkie for it
F
It takes me out of my aloneness
C G C
But this relationship cannot sustain itself
[Chorus]
Em F
Intimacy is while we're in the same place
At the same time
C G
Dealing honestly with how we feel
Am
And who we really are
G Am
That's what grownups do
F Em
That is mature thinking
F
I just have to know
How to be in the process
C G C
Of creating things in a better way
Em
And it hurts, but it's a lie
F
That I can't handle it
C G C
I still have a world of me-ness to fulfill
Em
I still care about this planet
F Am
I am still connected to nature
G F
And to my dreams for myself
F
I have my friends
My family
I have myself
I still have me
F
I have my friends
My family
I have myself
C
I still have me
