           C#          G#          C#
I am your writer who bleeds indecision
      G#
Your lover, your waiter, your saddest addition
     A#m
Your fighter, your taker, your old patience breaker
      C#                     D#
Your mover, your shaker, the one who can make you

Feel like a giant in the morning and so little
by noon
First your drowning in sunrise and then your froze
on the moon
Oh, baby, I'll promise that I'll never change
Hell, I'll tell you I will, but I'll still
say the same

          A#m
And I'll pray to the angels
that you'll see the signs
             C#
And they'll glow like a warning
and shine through the wine
              G#
And they'll scream through the ecstasy,
and howl through the snow
         D#
And I'll hand you my ganja, and off I will go
         G#         C#             G#        C#
And then I'll be a memory of your dodgy decisions
     G#
Your ex, your old sex, your old weathered tradition

           A#m
And you'll no longer kiss me, or hate me, or
miss me
   C#                     D#
Or have to defend me, or teach me, or wrest me
    G#         C#            G#        C#
The one who reminds you of stark imperfection
    G#
And how when you want to you can change direction
   A#m
Oh baby, when I call you, saying that I've changed
C#                                D#
Don't believe a word 'cause I'll still be the same

         A#m
And I'll pray to the angels and
I'll beg them to hear me
        C#
That despite how I'd like it,
that you won't come near me
          G#
And I'll dream of the ecstasy I used to feel
          D#
From the startling surprise,
to the sweet slow reveal
        A#m
And how I understand you, now that I've lost you
    C#
And I wanna thank you, for all that its cost you
     D#
For being the most beautiful part of my life
        A#m
And for holding me close, and wiping my cheek
     C#
And slapping me up, when I get too weak
         G#
And for touching my skin, and biting my lip
     D#
And spitting me out, and breathing me in
    A#m                                   C#
And telling me that everything's gonna be alright
          D#
So now I guess that it ends, baby
D#
So good luck
                    G#  C# G#
Thank you, and goodnight
