Em     G                       D
This flower is scorched. This film is on,
C               G
on a maddening loop.
        D     C
These clothes,
       Em                   G
these clothes don't fit us right,
    D        C         G
and I'm to blame. It's all the same.
D             Cmaj7
It's all the same.

Chorus:
    Em
You come to me with a bone in your hand.
     D                    C
You come to me with your hair curled tight.
     G                 D     C
You come to me with positions.
     Em                G
You come to me with excuses,
 D               C                G
ducked out in a row. You wear me out.
     D      Cmaj7
You wear me out.

We've been through fake breakdowns
Self-hurt, plastics, collections
Self-help, self-pain, EST, psychics, fuck all
I was central, I had control, I lost my head
I need this, I need this
A paperweight, a junk garage,
a winter rain, a honey pot
Crazy, all the lovers have been tagged
A hotline, a wanted ad,
it's crazy what you could've had

Chorus:
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this, I need this
It's crazy what you could've had
Crazy what you could've had
I need it, I need this
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this, I, I, need this
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this, I need this
It's crazy what you could've had
Crazy what you could've had
I need this, I need this

Crazy what you could've had
Crazy what you could've had
