Tom: Am
C
Cry me a river
Goddamn!
E7
Cry me a sea
F
Flood this room with ocean water
Fm
Fuck it, life’s a beach
C
Turn my skin a pale blue
E7
Rip the colour our my hair
F
I see in grey
I see in grey
Fm
I see in grey everywhere
[Verse]
Reading
C
Sylvia Plath and
E7
Murakami
F
Words ripped right out of my
Fm
Sixth form diary
C
I cannot stand the hand that traces
E7 F Fm
Mangled words across your floodlit faces
C E7 F Fm
Oh no, what a lovely surprise it was
C E7 F Fm
To see you last Saturday night
We had
C E7 F Fm
So much to talk about
C
I’m so glad
E7 F Fm
We could talk it out
[Chorus]
F Fm
But there’s a headache in my chest
C
Could you cut it out?
C7
Could you cut it out?
F Fm
And there’s a beating in my head
C
Could you knock me out?
C7
Could you knock me out?
F Fm
Could you please
[Verse]
Well
C
Trash the moped!
E7
Bring me a dial!
Am
Maybe later we can start a goddamn
F
Garden Fire!
C
This must not be who I am!
E7
There’s still so much to do!
F
Everything happens so much!
Fm
I see in grey
I see in grey
C
I see blue
C E7 F Fm
Oh no what a poor mistake it was
C E7 F Fm
To get drunk on a day like today
C
We had
E7 F Fm
So little to talk about
C E7
But such little room
F Fm
Between each others mouths
[Chorus]
F Fm
But there’s a headache in my chest
C
Could you cut it out?
C7
Could you cut it out?
F Fm
And there’s a beating in my head
C
Could you knock me out?
C7
Could you knock me out?
F
Could you please?
Fm C
Please!
