Tom: C

  G
I lay awake at four, staring at the wall
F                           C
Counting all the cracks backwards in my best French
  G
Reminds me of a book I skim-read in a surgery
F                      C
All about palmistry, I wonder what's in store for me
G                                       F
I pretend the plaster is the skin on my palms
                        C                          G
And the cracks are representative of what is going on
                                                       F       C
I lose a breath... my love-line seems intertwined with death
                    G
I'm thinking of you too

F   C

  G
I lay awake at three, staring at the ceiling
F                         C
It's a kind of off-white, maybe it's a cream
G
There's oily residue seeping from the kitchen
     F                          C
It's art-deco necromantic chic, all the dinner plates are kitsch with
G                                                              F
Irish Wolf Hounds, French baguettes wrapped loose around their necks
                   C                    G
I think I'm hungry, I'm thinking of you too

                    F   C
I'm thinking of you too
                    G
I'm thinking of you too
                    F   C
I'm thinking of you too

I'm thinking of you

G       F   C   x2

G
Wondering what you're doing, what you're listening to
      F                          C
Which quarter of the moon you're viewing from your bedroom
G
Watching all the movies, drinking all the smoothies
F                   C                     G
Swimming at the pool, I'm thinking of you too

                    F   C
I'm thinking of you too
                    G
I'm thinking of you too
                    F   C
I'm thinking of you too

                    G
I'm thinking of you too
                    F   C
I'm thinking of you too
                    G
I'm thinking of you too
                    F   C
I'm thinking of you too

                    G
I'm thinking of you too
                    F   C
I'm thinking of you too
                    G
I'm thinking of you too
                    F   C
I'm thinking of you too
