[Verse]
DM7              F#m
Close up on your lips
C#m     DM7
Lying to me
Bm           F#m
Saying, "I'm with you
    E           DM7
Wherever you'll be"
   DM7            F#m
A jump cut to the bed
C#m        DM7
We used to share
   Bm              F#m
Before you had the baby
     E             D
And I cut off my hair

[Pre-Chorus]
         Bm
What's a life without
     F#m     E
the consequences?
          Bm
What's a knife without
      F#m       E
the sharpened edges?

[Chorus]
                     Bm F#m   E
Did I cut the wrong wire   today?
                 Bm  F#m     E
Did I set it on fire    the way
          DM7      F#m
Scotland burned in '44
              E
Like I never learned
            D
to leave a war
             Bm     F#m
I just keep coming back

[Verse]
  DM7               F#m
A wide shot of the aisle
       E       D
Of a grocery store
Bm                F#m
Pan down to the crooked wheel
        E            D
On the dirty white floor
 DM7       F#m
Maybe all I'll ever be
         A   DM7
is the cameo here
   Bm                    F#m
A face the crowd might recognize
       E                 D
That comes home twice a year
     E            D
And then I disappear

Can we take a walk before
           E
you walk away?
