[Verse 1]
Eb Bm
Drowning in the
Blue Nile
He sent me Downtown
G
Lights
D
I hadn't heard
it in a while
Bm
My boredom was bone deep
This cage was once
G
just fine
D
Am I allowed to cry?
Bm
I dream of cracking locks
Throwing my life to
G
the wolves
Or the ocean rocks crashing
Bm
into him tonight
He's a paradox
I'm seeing visions
G Bm
Am I bad or mad or wise?

[Chorus] D What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh A G Only in my mind? D One slip, I'm falling back into the hedge maze A G Oh, what a way to die D I keep recalling things we never did A Messy top lip kiss G How I long for our A Without ever touching his skin Bm How can I be guilty as sin [Verse 2] Bm G I keep these longings locked D Bm In lowercase inside a vault Someone told me there's G no such things as bad thoughts D Only your actions talk Bm These fatal fantasies D Giving way too labored breath Taking all of me We've already done Bm it in my head If it's make believe, why does it feel like G a vow we'll both uphold somehow? [Chorus] D What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh A G Only in my mind? D One slip, I'm falling back into the hedge maze A G Oh, what a way to die D My bedsheets are ablaze, I screamed his name A Building up back waves G crashing over my grave A Without ever touching his skin D How can I be guilty as sin
[Bridge] Bm What if I roll the G stone away? A They're gonna crucify me anyway D Bm What if the way you hold me G Is actually what's holy D Bm If long-suffering propiety G is what they want from me A They don't know how you've D haunted me os stunningly Bm I choose you and me, G religously [Chorus] D What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh A G Only in my mind? D One slip, I'm falling back into the hedge maze A G Oh, what a way to die D I keep recalling things we never did A Messy top lip kiss G How I long for our A Without ever touching his skin D How can I be guilty as sin [Outro] A G He sent me downtown lies D I hadn't heard it in a while A G Am I allowed to cry?
