A#/D         A#/F      A#/C
Something's suddenly unclear
A#/D       A#/F       A#/C
Someone's suddenly my fear
A#/D       A#/F             A#/C
My eyes demand like broken eaves
A#/D       A#/F         A#/C
The ladel overspills on eaves

     A#/D  A#/F  A#/C
If you
       A#/D  A#/F  A#/C
Once knew
     A#/D  A#/F  A#/C
How I
       A#/D  A#/F  A#/C
Loved you

And my bruise-colored eyes peel
Every image to your face and heel
And if you're happy, I am too
And if you're sleeping, I'm with you

Chorus:
     A#/D  A#/F  A#/C
But you           love someone else
     A#/D  A#/F     A#/C
But you      want to be with someone else
    A#/D  A#/F     A#/C
And I       can't believe how dumb I sound
    A#/D  A#/F          A#/C
And I       will put my face over the ground

      A#/D  A#/F     A#/C
And love you    and love you - x6
