[Verse]
Am                   F
I can see it in your eyes now,
Am       Em             Am
you have come to resent me
      F       Am     Em
Condescension in the silence
Am               F
Your fingers are tired girl,
Am       Em                Am
How they falter against my thigh
                F
Your kisses are pining for
    Am              Em
the lips of someone else

[Chorus]
Am                  F
Your visits getting shorter
Am
Your heart is getting
F       G
further from me
Am                    F
Your touch is getting colder
Am         F         G
Always somewhere you need to be
Am           F      Am
Boys in blue blazers,
             F   G
boys on motorbikes
Am           F
Boys in your maths class
          Am           F   G
who'll do anything you ask

[Verse 2]
Am                        F
You're pulling the trigger and
                 Am
the gun is in my mouth
                   Em
A subtle annoyance laced
with disgust
Am                F
When you get older and those
                   Am
boys grow tired of you
You can come find me,
      Em
I can never hate you

[Chorus 2]
Am                  F
Your visits getting shorter
Am
Your heart is getting
F       G
further from me
Am                    F
Your touch is getting colder
Am         F         G
Always somewhere you need to be
Am           F
Boys on your left side,
Am           F   G
boys on your right
Am           F
Boys by your locker who'll
   Am           F   G
do anything you ask

[Bridge]
Am                          F
Lets spend the whole day in bed then
C                        G
Cause if we don't you'll want to,
        Am
want to leave
                        F
I try to hold something I can
C
I try to hold something
D    E      Am
I can never keep

[Chorus 3]
Am
Your visits getting shorter
F
Your heart is getting
further from me
Am
Your touch is getting colder
G
Always somewhere you need to be
Am           F
Boys on your left side,
Am           F   G

Am           F
