Intro
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch
A man stands in the doorway like a small child, angry fists
She lies in her bed, her head buried in her pillow, she stares at the moon
He speaks to her, all the words she's heard too many times before
And pretty soon she just lets his voice fade away
ch]D[/ch
And she thinks this was a gradual steel frost that started with cold feet
ch]D[/ch
And ended with numb hearts
ch]D[/ch
It was once satisfying sex, but now no longer is
ch]D[/ch
It was once filled with all the possibilities of new China or old stone
But now it's exaggerated and water-logged
ch]D[/ch
No longer what these hands had intended and still I cry in my sleep
ch]D[/ch
He always said I was too sensitive
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Cadd9[/ch
But I say, least I never meant to make him cry
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Least I never meant to make him hurt that way
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Cadd9[/ch
No, I never meant to make him cry
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
I never meant to make him hurt that way
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch
Yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch
He takes pleasure in my pain
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch
Yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch
He takes pleasure in my pain
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]Gm[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
And the unheard hours they fly by, she goes to the window
ch]Gm[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
She puts on a nightgown and brushes her hair
ch]Gm[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
He's already asleep by the time she goes to lay back down
ch]Gm[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
She thinks, "My God, what am I doing here?"
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch
My bones have grown tired of his hunger, of his gray eyes
And I feel that if I were to stay one more night here I'd die
Or explode, or worse yet, just fade away
And there've been days so dark when I felt like August
And that I soon too would have to turn to Fall
ch]D[/ch
He always said I was too sensitive
If I dared to care so much, the world could kill me that way
I wonder if he's only half alive or if he simply has always lacked such subtlety
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Cadd9[/ch
'Cause I say, at least I ever meant to make him cry
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
At least I never meant to make him hurt this way
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Cadd9[/ch
No, I never meant to make him cry
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
I never meant to make him hurt this way
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch
Yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A7sus4[/ch
He takes pleasure in my pain
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch
Yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A7sus4[/ch
He takes pleasure in my pain
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]Gm[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
She gets out of bed and looks at her feet as though they were the wings for her freedom
ch]Gm[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
She gets up and goes to the drawer
ch]Gm[/ch
It's a moment in which anything could happen
ch]F#m[/ch
As she gets out some clothing and puts them in a bag
ch]Gm[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
And leaves him sleeping while she heads for the door
