Clotting

Girl Friday


Tom: A

   A          F#m                E
I'm exorcising demons like they owe me
            D             E                A
Well, they own me, and I let them just the same
                  F#m                E
I crack the weak sensations that control me
         D                   E                 D
That console me through the tailspins I can't tame


[Chorus]
  A                  E
I smell of something rotting
      D              E              D
I'm unknotting every promise that I made
  A                  E
I wipe the blood, besotting
          D             E            A           F#m
Pray for clotting, I remember all you didn't say
         E
Didn't say


[Verse 2]
D           E               A             F#m
Didn't say, didn't say I was perfect or unchanging
     E             D              E
Rearranging how I feel about you every day
 A              F#m
I hate the way I hate you
        E            D                 E            D
No one made you stay up with her, give in, and walk away


[Chorus]
   A                   E
I swallowed something rotting
       D              E
I'm unknotting every promise that you made
   A                 E
I wipe the blood, besotting
          D                E               A           D
Pray for clotting, here I live with all you threw away


[Bridge]
     F#m               D
So I sever ties 'cause I know it's all
A                E
Bloody knees and broken bone
    F#m               D
And I can't kneel in dumpster gallows
A               E
At your table, dead, ideal
  F#m                   D
I heard you say you're all alone
    A                 E           A        F#m
I'd wring my own neck raw refusing to atone


[Outro]
        E    D  E
To atone
A       F#m    E    D  E
To atone, to atone
