    C          Fsus2
You wait for a silence
  C           G
I wait for a word
      G(add11)     Fsus2
Lying next to your frame
C              G
Girl unobserved
    G(add11)      Fsus2
You change your position
       C        G
You're changing me
G(add11)      Dm7
Casting these shadows
      G              C
Where they shouldn't be
 
C          Fsus2
We're interrupted
            C                   G
By the heat of the sun
G(add11)     Fsus2
Trying to prevent
         C       G
What's already begun
G(add11)      Fsus2
You're just a body
      C          G
I can smell your skin
G(add11)   Dm7
And when I feel it
       G       C
You're wearing thin
 
 
         Dm Am Fsus2
But I've got a plan
          G          Am
Why don't you be the artist
    Fsus2          C
And make me out of clay?
          G          Am
Why don't you be the writer
  Fsus2            C
Decide the words I say?
Cmaj9     Am7       Dm7
Cause I'd rather pretend
       G                   Am
I'll still be there at the end
Cmaj9     C           Dm7
Only it's too hard to ask
          Gsus2          G
Won't you try to help me?
 
 
C           Fsus2
Sat on your sofa
     C           G
It's all broken springs
     G(add11)  Fsus2
This isn't the place for
      C      G
Those violin strings
  G(add11)  Fsus2
I try out a smile
      C         G
And I aim it at you
G(add11)      Dm7
You must have missed it
    G      C
You always do
 
 
         Dm Am Fsus2
But I've got a plan
          G          Am
Why don't you be the artist
    Fsus2          C
And make me out of clay?
          G          Am
Why don't you be the writer
  Fsus2            C
Decide the words I say?
Cmaj9     Am7       Dm7
Cause I'd rather pretend
       G                   Am
I'll still be there at the end
Cmaj9     C           Dm7
Only it's too hard to ask
          Gsus2          G
Won't you try to help me?
 
 
Fsus2            Cadd9
  You wait I wait
       G             Cadd9
Casting shadows interrupted
Fsus2            Cadd9
  You wait I wait
       G             Cadd9
Casting shadows interrupted
Fsus2            Cadd9
  You wait I wait
       G             Cadd9
Casting shadows interrupted
Fsus2            Cadd9
  You wait I wait
       G      G(add11) G
Casting shado  -  -  - ows
 
 
          G          Am
Why don't you be the artist
    Fsus2          C
And make me out of clay?
          G          Am
Why don't you be the writer
  Fsus2            C
Decide the words I say?
Cmaj9     Am7       Dm7
Cause I'd rather pretend
       G                   Am
