Riff 1: Dm C Em 

    Dm                         C            Em 
    She says it helps with the lights out  
    Dm                                C       Em 
Her rabid glow is like braille to the night.  
    Dm                            C          Em 
    She swears I'm a slave to the details  
             Dm                     F                   C   Em             
But if your life is such a big joke,   why should I care?  


     Dm                                                          C  Em 
The clock is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it eight.  
         Dm      
So that you two can take some time,  
                                C   Em 
Teach each other to reciprocate.  


Dm                            F                        C           Em 
She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid gloves  
    Dm                    F                     C        Em 
But she doesn't know that I left my urge in the icebox  
Dm         F                        C        Em                    
She swears    I'm just prey to the female,  
          Dm 
Well then hook me up and throw me,  
      F                               C    Em 
Baby cakes, 'cause I like to get hooked.  

  
     Dm                                                          C  Em 
The clock is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it eight.  
         Dm 
All the people that you've loved  
                                       C   Em 
They're all bound to leave some keepsakes.  
          Dm 
I've been swinging all the time,  
                                C   Em 
Think it's time to learn your way.  
         Dm                                             C   Em 
Picture you and me together in the jungle it would be ok.  

     Dm                F                          C      Em 
I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night  
        Dm             F         C            Em 
That is supposing that you don't sleep tonight  


F  Am  C                              F 
          It's like learning a new a language  
                            Am        C  
Helps me catch up on my mime  
                             F 
If you don't bring up those lonely parts  
                      Am     C   
This could be a good time  
                          F 
It's like learning a new language  

                 Am   C 
You come here to me  
                     F 
We'll collect those lonely parts and set them down  
                 Am C Em     F 
You come here to me  

                Am C Em     F 

Am       C                  Em 
She says brief things, her love's a pony  
    F 
My love's subliminal  

Am       C                  Em

My love's subliminal
