Em
as we were talking outside it was cold
C Am
we were shivering yet warmed by the subject matter my wife
Em
is in the next room we've been having troubles you know
C
please don't tell her or anyone
Am
but i need to talk to somebody
Em
you said "wouldn't it be a shame if i knew how great i was
C Am
five minutes before i died i'd be filled with such regret
Em
before i took my last breath" and i said "you're willing to tell me this now
C Am
and you're not going to die anytime soon" and i said
Em
i haven't been eating chicken or meat or anything and you said yes
C Am
but you've been wearing leather
Em
and laughed and said we're at the top of the food chain and yes you're still a fine woman and
C Am
i cringed
Em
i was hoping
D Am
i was hoping we could heal each other
Em
i was hoping
D Am
i was hoping we could be raw together
Em
we left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60's)
C Am
said "good-bye sir thank you for your business sir you're successful and established sir
Em
and we like the frequency with which you dine here sir
C Am
and your money"
Em
and when i walked by they said "thank you too dear"
C
i was all pigtails and cords
Am
and there was a day when i would've said something like
Em C
"hey dude i could buy and sell this place so kiss it"
Am
i too once though i was owed something
Em
i was hoping
D Am
i was hoping we could challenge each other
Em
i was hoping
D Am
i was hoping we could crack each other up
Em
i too thought that when proved wrong i lost somehow
C Am
i too once thought life was cruel
Em
it's a cycle really you think i'm withdrawing and guilt tripping
C
you i think you're insensitive
Am
and i don't feel heard and i said do you believe we are
Em C Am
fundamentally judgmental? fundamentally evil?
Em
and you said yes i said i don't believe in revenge
C Am
in right or wrong good or bad you said "well what about the man that i saw handcuffed
Em
in the emergency room bleeding after beating his kid
C
and she threw a shoe at his head.
Am
i think what he did was wrong
Em
and i would've had a hard time feeling compassion for him"
C Am
i had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged
Em
i was hoping
D Am
i was hoping we could dance together
Em
i was hoping
D Am
i was hoping we could be creamy together
