F                  Dm
You somehow let me down
      C                  F
Both hands and a gentleman
                        Dm
You could not take me through
      C                F
New plans or tell me who
     A#                       F
New friends, I can make some too
    C
I know
F                   Dm
You somehow took me in
     C                    F
Both arms, my marked up skin
    A#                     F
Two hands, places you had been
   C
I needed

Chorus:
         F            Am
And the more that we try
    A#                 A#m
To figure through the answers
      F            Am
To repeat ourselves
     A#     C
To deny, deny

Now you call my bluff
All clear and it gets so rough
Stone-faced in the light
The air and the jagged bite
Cold air, the wisdom of the night
Between us

Chorus:
         F            Am
And the more that we try
    A#                 A#m
To figure through the answers
      F            Am
To repeat ourselves
     A#     C
To deny, deny
      F    Am    A# A#m
To deny, deny, deny

Somehow we exist
In the folds, and now we'll kiss
Both hands, the mystery before us
She's reaching
But I could not take you through
New plans, or tell you who
New friends, you can make some too
I know
