without first checking your cell screen? 
A                       E     A

E 
tell me 
A                         E 
do you make pancakes and coffee? 
A                        E 
if i don’t eat will you judge me? 
A                                 E 
it’s just that my face is filling out 



A 
and i’ve never known how to take 
B                       A 
care of myself in the mornings 
        B 
when defenses are high and i’m still 
G#m               A 
dreaming things changed 
      B                      G#m 
take care of myself in the mornings 
             A 
so i’m not erased

Verse 1:

E       A                     E 
every night when i go under covers 
   A                        E 
i take off my clothes undercover 
       A                  E    A 
it’s easier just not to see 

E        A                    E 
and the nights when i go undercover 
     A                       E 
and touch myself under the covers 
    A                           E 
i dream that you love what you see 

         A 
and at least when i come i can 
      B                     A 
face into the quiet of the evening 
       B 
when defenses are low and 
      G#m         A 
i’m wishing i’d change 
     B                      G#m 
and into the quiet of the evening 
          A 
i’ll be erased

Verse 1:
E             A 
what do you think when 
                 E 
you’re walking alone in 
        A                  E 
the gloaming? i want to escape to 
     A                          E    A 
the place where i live in your mind 

       E 
cause when you 
     A                             E 
get drunk and say something about bowie 
    A                     E 
i don’t understand but i want to 
       A 
and i think i feel your eyes 
         E              A 
getting tired of me 

    E 
and i want 
   A 
a love that’s embarrassing 
E 
i want 
    A 
to know my own limits 
      E 
cause i want 
A                        E     A 
more than i know how to give 

    E 
so tell me 
A                            E 
do you think that you could love me? 
A                            E 
do you see something that’s something? 
    A                     E 
or do you see nothing at all? 


        A 
and at least when i come i can 
      B                     A 
face into the quiet of the evening 
         B 
for two seconds i’m drenched in 
  G#m             A 
a love that’s my own 
    B                      G#m 
and into the quiet of the evening 
           A 
i’ll find home
