Intro
G  C  G C G C G C G


Verse 1
          C          G            C
I am your writer who bleeds indecision
     G
Your lover, your witter, your saddest addition
     Am
Your fighter, your taker, your old patience breaker
     C                       D
Your mover, your shaker, the one who can make you
            G            C              G            C
Feel like a giant in the morning and so little by noon
         G
For sure drowning in sunrise and you froze on moon
    Am
Oh, baby I'll promise, that I'll never change
           C                         D
Hell, I'll tell you I will, but I'll still stay the same


Verse 2
         Am
And I'll pray to the angels that you'll see the signs
            C
And they'll glow like a warning and shine through the wine
            G
And they'll scream through the ecstasy, and howl through the snow
         D
And I'll hand you my ganja, and off I will go
         G         C              G          C
And then I'll be a memory of your dodgy decisions
     G
Your ex, your old sex, your old weathered tradition
           Am
And you'll no longer kiss me, or hate me, or miss me
   C                     D
Or have to defend me, or teach me, or wrest me
    G         C           G          C
The one who remind you of stark imperfection
    G
And how when you want to you can't change direction
   Am
Oh baby, when I call you, saying that I've changed
C                                D
Don't believe a word 'cause I'll still be the same


Verse 3
         Am
And I'll pray to the angels and I'll beg them to hear me
       C
That despite how I'd like it, that you won't come near me
         G
And I'll dream of the ecstasy I used to feel
         D
From the start when surprise, to the sweet slow reveal
        Am
And how I understand you, now that I've lost you
    C
And I wanna thank you, for all that its cost you
    D
For being the most beautiful part of my life
        Am
And for holding me close, and wiping my cheek
    C
And slapping me up, when I get too weak
        G
And for touching my skin, and biting my lip
    D
And spitting me out, and breathing me in
    Am                                    C
And telling me that everything's gonna be alright
         D
So now I guess that it is, baby
D
So good luck
                   G    C G  N.C.
Thank you, and goodnight
