Em
drowning in the blue nile..
C
he sent me "downtown lights.."
Em
i hadn't heard it in a while
my boredom's bone deep
C
this cage was once just fine..
am i allowed to cry?
Em
i dream of cracking locks
C
throwing my life to the wolves
or the ocean rocks
Em
crashing into him tonight
he's a paradox
C
i'm seeing visions, am i bad?
D
or mad? or wise..?
Chorus
G
what if he's written "mine"
D C
on my upper thigh only in my mind..?
G
one slip and falling back
into the hedge maze
D C
oh, what a way to die..
C D
i keep recalling things we never did
G
messy top lip kiss,
Bm
how i long for our trysts
C
without ever touching his skin
D Em
how can i be guilty as sin..?
C
i keep these longings locked..
Em
in lowercase, inside a vault
someone told me there's no such thing
C
as bad thoughts..
only your actions talk
Em
these fatal fantasies
C
giving way to labored breath
taking all of me,
Em
we've already done it in my head
if it's make believe
C
why does it feel like a vow
D
we'll both uphold somehow..?
Chorus
G
what if he's written "mine"
D C
on my upper thigh only in my mind..?
G
one slip and falling back
into the hedge maze
D C
oh, what a way to die..
C
my bedsheets are ablaze,
D
i've screamed his name
G
building up like waves
Bm
crashing over my grave
C
without ever touching his skin
D G
how can i be guilty as sin..?
D
what if i roll the stone away..?
C
they're gonna crucify me anyway..
G D
what if the way you hold me
C
is actually what's holy..?
C
if long suffering propriety..
D
is what they want from me..
G
they don't know how you've
Em
haunted me so stunningly
C D
i choose you and me religiously
Chorus
what if he's written "mine"
C
on my upper thigh only in my mind..?
G
one slip and falling back
into the hedge maze
D C
oh, what a way to die..
C D
i keep recalling things we never did
G
messy top lip kiss,
Bm
how i long for our trysts
C
without ever touching his skin
D G
how can i be guilty as sin..?
D C
he sent me "downtown lights.."
G D C
i hadn't heard it in a while..
D
am i allowed to cry..?
