 Cm            G#        F
You're growing tired of me
 Cm             G#          B          D#
You love me so hard and I still can't sleep
 Cm             G#       D#
You're growing tired of me
 Cm                   G#          D#
And all the things I don't talk about

 Cm            G#         F
Sorry I don't want your touch
     Cm          G#         B D#
It's not that I don't want you
 Cm      G#               F
Sorry I can't take your touch

Chorus:
              D#          F           C
It's just that I fell in love with a war
 D#     G          G#
Nobody told me it ended
              D#          Fm
And it left a pearl in my hand
       C        A#
And I roll it around
       D#             B         C
Every night, just to watch it glow
       D#            B          C
Every night, baby, that's where I go

Sorry, I don't want your touch
It's not that I don't want you
Sorry, I can't take your touch

C#                      Cm
There's a hole that you fill
A#             G G#
You fill, you fill

Chorus:
It's just that I fell in love with a war
And nobody told me it ended
And it left a pearl in my head
And I roll it around
Every night, just to watch it glow
Every night, baby, that's where I go
Just to watch it glow
