        Dm
We were too wasted to close the window
                                    Gm
Friends and family looking in to my only
hiding place
      C                     Dm
The rhythm of a strangers skin

Dm
Infidel to die for
           Gm                       C
What i am doing will happen in the morning
When the mirror won't recognize me

Chorus:
    C                                  Dm
He holds a certain gesture when we're loving
to ask each other
A                           Dm
Do you want it? Do you want me?
C                Dm             A             Dm
I want it, it is you, you are where I want to be.

Who is he? (oh)
          Dm
Why would I (do)

          Dm
Why would I (do)
         A
Hitch a ride (the)
             Dm
When I can drive. (twist)

Somebody put me back in school
I forget everything I used to know
How to leave the boy behind without
having to watch him go
Oh, infidel to die for what I am doing
Will happen in the morning
When the mirror won't recognise me

He knows a certain gesture
When we're loving to ask each other
Do you want it?
Do you want me?
I want it
It is you
You are where I want to be

Chorus:
Who is he? (Circumstantial)
Why would I (do)
Hitch a ride? (the)
I can drive (twist)
Who is she? (Circumstantial)
Why would I (do)
Hitch a ride (the)
When I can drive? (twist)

Circumstantial (oh)
Do the twist (do)
Circumstantial (the)
Do the twist (twist)
Circumstantial (oh)
Do the twist (do)
Circumstantial (the twist)
Always
Circumstantial (oh)
Do the twist (do)
Circumstantial (the)
Do the twist (twist)
Circumstantial (oh)
Do the twist (do)
Circumstantial (the twist)
Always
