C
Circling around the kitchen
B
Why has nothing changed
C
Feed cucumber sandwich to a pigeon
B
Chipping nail varnish on guitar strings

Got a pillow case made out of money
Feelin' pretty fake when I wake up
Tissue paper castle paper caddy
Scaly little friend’s got my backup

Chorus:
C               D               G
Didn’t give me time to say goodbye in the way
        A
that I wanted to
C                    D         G
So honey close your eyes and stay like you’re
    A
supposed to do
C                                    B
Don’t you wanna give me time to write another
song for you?

Fuzzy feelin' and I miss you
Why can nothing stay the same?
Fuckin' stupid head, I'm gonna kill you
Melt all your art and drink the paint

I am not a beast, I'm not a monster
I don't care what you say
You can't have the bad guys without a hero
And I'm the only one who's got a cape

Chorus:
Didn't give me time to say goodbye in
the way that I wanted to
So honey, close your eyes and stay like
you're supposed to do
Don't know how I’m gonna live without
But I'll stay strong for you
