C
Wish I could remember
G
why it mattered to me.
Dm
It doesnt matter to me.
F
It doesnt matter to me
C
anymore.
Am
Now that youre
G
feeling fine,
F
Ill admit that though
I know its coming down,
and see it shattering me
it doesnt matter to me,
and Im not sadder for
seeing it come.
Im not going to run.
I will just come
when I am called.
Dm G
You want to cut me off
Dm G
because I took too much,
F
but dont leave me alone
Am
Take off your scarves,
G
your winter coat.
F Fm
The nights too cold.
When we met I should have said
youre like a sister to me,
how all that kiss her just seem
like puny suitors I can see through,
how none will do,
no not for you,
how it might as well just be us two.
And when I pulled you by the jacket
from the clattering street,
you started flattering me,
you started saying I was so strong.
String me along,
but I cant become
all that Im called.
And I cant claim to know
what makes love die or grow,
but I can still take control
and so refuse to just go home,
back down the hall.
And as I crawl,
as finally all
the false confetti blooms
up in this attic room,
Im going make my stand.
I want to see both of your hands
put down the phone.
I wont let you go,
although
the moment stole
my self-control
from us all
and now it can only end
end with a fall.
