Verse 1
[C] [Em]
You wait for a silence
[G] [D]
I wait for a word
[C] [Em]
Lying next to your frame
[G] [D]
Girl unobserved
[C] [Em]
You change your position
[G] [D]
You're changing me
[C] [Em]
Casting these shadows
[D] [G]
Where they shouldn't be
Pre-Chorus
[C] [Em]
We're interrupted
[G] [D]
By the heat of the sun
[C] [Em]
Trying to prevent
[G] [D]
What's already begun
[C] [Em]
You're just a body
[G] [D]
I can smell your skin
[C] [Em]
And when I feel it
[D] [G]
You're wearing thin
Chorus
[Em] [C] [D]
But I've got a plan
[D] [Em]
Why don't you be the artist
[C] [G]
And make me out of clay?
[D] [Em]
Why don't you be the writer
[C] [G]
Decide the words I say?
[Em] [G]
Cause I'd rather pretend
[D] [Em]
I'll still be there at the end
[C] [Em]
Only it's too hard to ask
[D] [G]
Won't you try to help me?
Verse 2
[C] [Em]
Sat on your sofa
[G] [D]
It's all broken springs
[C] [Em]
This isn't the place for
[G] [D]
Those violin strings
[C] [Em]
I try out a smile
[G] [D]
And I aim it at you
[C] [Em]
You must have missed it
[D] [G]
You always do
Chorus
[Em] [C] [D]
But I've got a plan
[D] [Em]
Why don't you be the artist
[C] [G]
And make me out of clay?
[D] [Em]
Why don't you be the writer
[C] [G]
Decide the words I say?
[Em] [G]
Cause I'd rather pretend
[D] [Em]
I'll still be there at the end
[C] [Em]
Only it's too hard to ask
[D] [G]
Won't you try to help me?

[Em] [D]
Casting shadows

I wait
[Em] [D]
Casting shadows
[D]
Interrupted

I wait
