When I came to you were standing above me (B, G/G#, G, F#)
Not at all concerned, you attempted to hide your smirk (B, G/G#, G, F#) What a jerk, I was the master of tasks, you were the (G, A, Bm, D-A)
King of the masks, but then the telephone rang (G, G/G#, A, A/A#)
It was not who you thought, maybe coincidence (Bm, A, G, A) I don’t believe in luck; a synchronicity (Bm, D, G, G/G#)
Ending the karmic leg, so to speak (F, G, Am, C) You were attempting to carve out, a brand new trajectory (F, G, G#, A#)
How did I become the queen of authenticity (Cm, Gm, Fm…)
I was never a fan, of being a man (C, Em, C, Em) Why do I get so nervous, why do I need so much practice (F, Am-G, F, Am-G, F-Em)
Why can’t we get it the first time (C, F)
It always feels like the last time (C, F)
My knowledge grows like a spiral (why can’t we get it the first time) (C, F)
A backward ladder with land mines (it always feels like the last time) (C, F)
(G7…)
If Jesus took me down this fucked up road (are you messing with me) (C, F)
Then why are there so many potholes (C, F)
I think I’m starting to figure out the rules (are you messing with me) (C, F)
I’m in charge, and so am I (C, F)
and so am I, and so am I… (G, Am, G, Fm)
