            G              A
When you screw up your eyes
When you screw up your face
When you throw out your arms
And keep changing your shape

Chorus:
 C                           D
Taste the taste in your mouth
 C                            D
Taste the taste on your tongue
        G               A
On the film on your eyes
     G             A
of what I’ve become

What do I do when you screw up your eyes?
What do I do when you screw up your face?
What do I do when you throw out your arms
Fall on the floor and keep changing your shape?

Chorus

Makes me sick at the way that I try
Anything in the world
To impress that I’m doing this
Only for you
It's only for you
Only for you
