[Verse 1]
Am
Please listen closely
I think you think you know
       E
what I want, but you don't
          Dm
To want to know me
                           Am
Is to ask me to ask you to tell,
but you won't
          Dm
And so we sit here
            Am
And talk in circles
           E
Pointed politeness
             Am
'Til we turn purple
                  Dm                                                                    E
Oh really, can we cut it all and
break the walls and talk like
we've been married forty years?

[Verse 2]
          Am
And so we dance, dear
                            E
Nose to nose but wanting to be
mouth to mouth
           Dm
Give it a chance, dear
Break the ice if there's ice,
      Am               A
or at least ask me how
           Dm
Because we sit here
               Am
Both with this knowing
                  E
There's something under
        Am
Forever growing
                  Dm
Oh really, can we cut it all
and break the walls
And not talk like we're
              E
married fifty years?

[Chorus]
                         Am
I know you're bored like me

[Verse 3]
           Am
So tell me kindly
                            E
I wonder if you love like I love
loving you
              Dm
I'm going in blindly

So make the risk want the
            Am            A
risk like I want you to do
               Dm
Just scrap the questions
             Am
take off the masks
        E
Let the curtain fall and
               Am
lead me to the dark
            Dm
Oh, darling are you there
say a word
I will not use this mouth
               E
for chatter anymore

[Chorus]
N.C.                         Am
Oh, I know you're bored like me
