[Chorus]
Cmaj7                                        D
I don't wanna know if you go to the county affair
Em                                                      D
Every time you walk, walk with me, know you wish I was there
Cmaj7                                                   D
Tell me how to feel, what's the deal? Do I live in your bones?
Em                                                  D
Arrow to the heel, ultrafeel, sink it back like a stone

[Verse]
Cmaj7
Cosy up to my horror show for the
Em
Callous-hearted, the pre-departed, my
Cmaj7
Soul so sick with the need for yours
Em
Lay down with you on marble floors
Cmaj7
And your weekend morals, my season's changed
Em
Systematically rearranged
Cmaj7
Easy for you, but please do try
Em
Shed some tears on this last goodbye

[Chorus]
Cmaj7                                        D
I don't wanna know if you go to the county affair
Em                                                      D
Every time you walk, walk with me, know you wish I was there
Cmaj7                                                   D
Tell me how to feel, what's the deal? Do I live in your bones?
Em                                                  D
Arrow to the heel, ultrafeel, sink it back like a stone

[Post-Chorus]
Cmaj7                                        D
Thanks for being a home, thanks for being alone
Em                                                 D
Thanks for stalking my zone, thanks for leaving me prone
Cmaj7                                        D
Had the prettiest day, if you want me, I'll stay
Em                                     D
