D
Poke at my iris
Em
Why cant i cry about this
G                      D
Maybe there is something that you
A
Know that i dont...

D
I might never catch a mouse 
Em
and present it in my mouth
G                                      D
And make you feel you're with someone who 
A
deserves to be with you.

D
Why won't our love keel 
Em
over as it chokes on a bone?
G                        D
We can mourn its passing and then 
A
bury it in snow.

D
Or should we kick its cunt in and 
Em
watch as it dies from bleeding.
G                            D
If you don't want to be with me just
A
say and I will go.


CHORUS:
G Em/D x4


VERSE 2:
D
Well we can change our partners

Em
this is a progressive dance
    G                            D
But remember it was me who dragged you

A
 up to the sweaty floor.

(Repeats all throughout)
D
Well this has been a reel I've got 
Em
shin-splints and a stench from weed
G                            D
But like a drunken night it's the 
A
best bits that are coloured in

Should look through some old photos I adored you in every one of those.
If someone took a picture of us now they'd need to be told that we had ever clung on 
and maybe not with arms at night.
I'd say she was his sister but she doesn't have his nose.

And now we're unrelated and rid of all the shit we hated,
But I hate when I feel like this and I never hated you.

CHORUS:
G Em/Dx4
