Your Needs, My Needs

Intro 

 

 

G 
 Oh, well, who was I? 
                      C/G 
Who was I to watch you wilt? 
                 G 
You ain't gotta tell me what it means 
              C/G 
Trace the outlines of your dreams 
                              G 
You'll always be a flower on my skin 
                  C/G 
And the pain that I am in 
   G               D11 
Mm, it's all the same 
C 
 The losing touch, the waiting game 
G 
 Across that county line 
C 
 I promise to be there this time 
          G     C 
Alright?

You were a work of art 
            D            D4 
That's the hardest part 
              C                        G 
Howlin' like dogs in the light of the moon 
              Em 
Holdin' our breath after 1:32 
                        C                  G 
You asked me why I wasn't sayin' a word 
                 Em 
I'm naming the stars in the sky after you 
                Am 
I was a work of art 
               D         D4 
That's the hardest part 

 

              C                 G 
To spiral out, to try and float 
                Em 
To see a friend, to see a ghost 
               C             G 
Bitter-brained, always drunk 
          Em 
Rail-thin, Zoloft 
              C              G 
Subtle change, shorter days 
          Em 
Dead-eyed, dead weight 
          C             G 
Your life, your dreams 
          Em 
Your mind, your needs

Em 
 Your needs 
          C  G  Em
