Pollyanna Flower

	  		

G          F#                      G           
Between a broken nose and a fake smile  
Between piety and gunpowder  
Between fighting and fleeing the scene  
Between murder and diplomacy  

G          F#              G 
Between aggression and oblivion  
Between brutal and realistically well behaved  
Between screaming and pulling in the reins  
Esus4                     E 
Between tiptoeing and ambleing  

Bm         F#                    Bm F# 
What am I to do with all this fire  
(I'd like to hit you but I'd never hit you)  
Bm                  F#                Bm   F# 
Would you stay with me in this red space 
(I'd like to slap you but I'd never slap you)  

 
E 
Between violence and silently seething  
E 
Between my fist and my pollyanna flower  
E 
Between "fuck you" to your face and it's alright  
E 
Between war and denial  

 

Between flying vases and secretly weeping  
Between loose cannons and ever downplaying  
Between bruises and rudely differing  
Between bursting and boiling  

What am I to do with all this burning  
(I'd like to hurt you but I'd never hurt you)  
Do I overwhelm you in this place  
(I'd like to kill you but I'd never kill you)  

 

What am I to do with all this fire  
Can you understand me in this place?
