[Verse 1]
Giving into [Bm]love and sharing my time
Letting someone [C]into my [D]misery[Bm]
I told it all step by [C]step
How I landed on the [Em]is l[E]and
[D]And[E] how I swam a[F#m]cross the se[D]a[C]
And it [Em]crosses my [E]mind[Esus4][E]
That I [F#m]may wake to a kn[C]ife in me
No more breath in my [Bm]hair
Or ladies' underwear
Tossed up over [C]the alarm clock
Blood dripping from the [Bm]bed
To a neatly written poem
A heartfelt last [C]line reading
There is no more [Em]mys t[E]ery[D][Em]
[E]It it [D]going [C]to[Em][E][Esus4]
[E]happen[D] my love
[C]

[Verse 2]
It's all in your head [F#m]she said
Morning after night[G]mare
You're building a [A]wall [F#m]she said
Higher than the [C]both of us
So try living life
[F#m]Instead of hiding in the bedroom[G]
Show me a [A]smile
[F#m]And I'll promis[Bm]e not to[F#] leave yo[C]u

[Verse 3]
It happened under a rainy [Bm]cloud
Passing through the dark south
We went into a [C]big house
And slept in a small bed
I didn't [D]know you then
As well as [C]you of me
We talked of our [D]sad lives
And we went [C]off [Bm]sepa[Em]rately[E]
[Esus4]I found y[Bm]our[E]
[F#m]overseas souven[C]irs
Holiday greet[E]ing cards
And [F#m]some long forgotten
high [C]school fears
It's all in my head [F#m]I said
[D]Banging [F#m]a pian[G] o
[Em]I've not been so [A]alone [F#m]I thought
Since kicking in the wom[C]b
I drank so much tea
[F#m]I wrote my letters in kan[D]ji[G]
Around the block [A]I w[F#m]alked
and walked
Pretending [D]you were with [C]me
[A]Not [Bm]want[D]ing to d[A]ie[D]
out [C]here[Asus4]
[A]Without [Bm]you[D]

[Verse 4]
The hurting never [Bm]ends
Like birthdays and old friends
We [C]forget what is flesh
blood and bone is human
[D]Turning phone lines to airlines
[C]Unwilling to face
The love is [D]found on the inside
not the out[C]side
[Bm]And like [Em]a medicine [Bm]bottle[E]
In the cab[F#m]inet I[C]'ll keep you
And like [Em]a medicine [E]bot[Em]tle
In my hand [F#m]I will hold[C] you
And swallow you [F#m]slowly
As to last me a life[G]time
[D]Without hold[F#m]ing too tight
I do not want to [C]lose
The thrill that it [F#m]gives me
To look out from my win[G]dow
[D]And scowl [F#m]at the houses
From my world in the bedroom
[C]It's all in my [F#m]head she read
In her girlfriend's self- help [G]book
It's all his own mak[F#m]ing
A war with himsel[C]f
Like two sides of a [F#m]wall
That separates two coun[G]tries
He shuts out [D]the world
[F#m]And wants only to love y[C]ou

[Verse 5]
[A]Not [Bm]want[D]ing to d[D]ie out here[C][C]
[A]Without [Bm]you[D]
