Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Well. this has got to [C]die
I said, this has [Em]got to stop
This has [Dm]got to lie down
With someone [Fm]else on top
You can keep me pinned [C]pinned
'Cause it's [Em]easier to tease
But you can't [Dm]paint an elephant
Quite as [Fm]good as she

[Chorus 1]
And she [C]may cry like [Am]a baby
And she [Dm]may drive me c[Fm]razy
'Cause [C]I a[F]m lately
[Dm]Lone[G] ly

[Verse 2]
So why'd you have [C]to lie?
I take it [Em]I'm your crutch
The pillow [Dm]in your pillow case
Is [Fm]easier to touch
When you [C]think you've sinned
Do you fall [Em]upon your knees?
Or just sit within [Dm]your picture
You still [Fm]forget the breeze

[Chorus 2]
And she [C]may rise
If I [Am]sing you down
And she [Dm]may wisely
[Fm]Cling to the ground
'Cause [C]I a[F]m lately
[Dm]Horn[G] y
So [C]why would [F]she take me [Dm]horn [G]y?

[Bridge 1]
[Dm]What's the point of this song?
[Fm]Or even singing?
[Dm]You've already gone[G]
Why am [Dm]I clinging?
Well I could throw it out
And I [G]could live without
And I could do it all for you
I could be strong
[Am]Tell me, do you want me to [G]lie?

[Outro 1]
Because this has [C]got to die
'Cause this has got [Em]to stop
This has got [Dm]to lie down, down
With someone [Fm]else on top
You can both [C]keep me pinned
'Cause it's [Em]easier to tease
But you can't [Dm]make me happy
Quite as good [Fm]as me...
(you know that's a lie)
