C, Em, G
C Em
You wait for a silence
G D
I wait for a word
C Em
Lying next to your frame
G D
Girl unobserved
C Em
You change your position
G D
You're changing me
C Em
Casting these shadows
D G
Where they shouldn't be
C Em
We're interrupted
G D
By the heat of the sun
C Em
Trying to prevent
G D
What's already begun
C Em
You're just a body
G D
I can smell your skin
C Em
And when I feel it
D G
You're wearing thin
Em C D
But I've got a plan
C G
Why don't you be the artist
Em D
And make me out of clay?
C Em
Why don't you be the writer
G D
Decide the words I say?
Em G
Cause I'd rather pretend
D C
I'll still be there at the end
C Em
Only it's too hard to ask
D G
Won't you try to help me?
C Em
Sat on your sofa
G D
It's all broken springs
C Em
This isn't the place for
G D
Those violin strings
C Em
I try out a smile
G D
And I aim it at you
C Em
You must have missed it
D G
You always do
Em C D
But I've got a plan
C G
Why don't you be the artist
Em D
And make me out of clay?
C Em
Why don't you be the writer
G D
Decide the words I say?
