D C2
You wait for a silence
G D
I wait for a word
D C2
Lying next to your frame
G D
Girl unobserved
D C2
You change your position
G D
You're changing me
D C2
Casting these shadows
D G
Where they shouldn't be
D C2
We're interrupted
G D
By the heat of the sun
D C2
Trying to prevent
G D
What's already begun
D C2
You're just a body
G D
I can smell your skin
D C2
And when I feel it
D G
You're wearing thin
D C2
But I've got a plan
R:
D Em7
Why don't you be the artist
C2 G
And make me out of clay?
D Em7
Why don't you be the writer
C2 G
Decide the words I say?
C2 D
Cause I'd rather pretend
C2 Em7
I'll still be there at the end
G D
Only it's too hard to ask
C2 G
Won't you try to help me?
D C2
Sat on your sofa
G D
It's all broken springs
D C2
This isn't the place for
G D
Those violin strings
D C2
I try out a smile
G D
And I am it at you
D C2
You must have missed it
D G
You always do
D C2
But I've got a plan

You wait
I wait

Casting shadows
