Act Together

 
D 
Your compliments are the enemy 
Em 
I live for your reassurance 
Am                                Dm 
You say you like when my hair is straight 

I wake up early to burn it 
 

 
D 
I learn your life and participate 
Em 
I acclimate like a furnace 
Am                        Dm 
I lose myself to another trade 

So that I may love you earnest 
 

 
Am 
Regulate me, laugh it all away 
                Dm 
And say you'll never leave me 

Even if for better measure 
Em 
Renovate me, cater me to fit your gaze 
    Am 
And motivate me 
   Em        E 
I can get my act together 
                  Dm 
I can get my act together 
 

 
D 
Drunkenly fall in the photo booth 
Em 
Public display of affection 
Am                       Dm 
I go along with your every move 

I'm introduced as your girlfriend 
 

 
D 
I learn your dance and get in the groove 
Em 
Of being worn like a necklace 
Am                             Dm 
I will believe you without the proof 

And swear you're doing me justice 
 

 
Am 
Regulate me, laugh it all away 
                Dm 
And say you'll never leave me 

Even in the colder weather 
Em 
Celebrate me, integrate me with your family 
Am 
Serenade me 
Em            E 
Baby, we can act together 
                  Dm 
Baby, we can act together 
 

 
D 
I kiss you under the strobing lights 
Em 
I'm putting up thicker armor 
Am                         Dm 
You say you love me, but Jesus Christ 

I watch your eyes when they wander 
D 
I think I feel for the both of us 
Em 
And I will go down as a martyr 
Am                               Dm 
I watch you stone cold, sucking up 

I'm losing all of my honor 
 

Outro: 

Am 
Regulate me, laugh it all away 
                Dm 
And say you'd never leave me, even if you're feeling lesser 
Em 
Detonate me, bend until we break 
        Am 
And babe, if you're pretending 
Em              E 
Maybe we can act together 
                  Dm 
Maybe we can act together 

Maybe we can act
