Insignificant Other

Dm F          Dm F

[Verse 1]
Dm       F                            Dm         F
You will go to bed tonight far from sober
    Dm      F                                  Dm       F
And I will tell myself that I did something wrong
    Dm      F
And I won’t say a word although my thoughts are
Dm      F
racing faster farther and I fear I
Dm        F
feel my harness breaking loose

[Interlude]
Dm    F

[Chorus]
    C
But I
       Dm                A#               F
will swallow all the saltwater that surrounds me
     C
and you
       Dm                A#
will pour something a little stronger
                   C                  F
and hope that it might make you stronger

[Verse 2]
Dm       F                               Dm    F
We will spend this afternoon sleeping in
        Dm     F                                      Dm         F
And by that I mean I’m wide awake and staring at the ceiling
     Dm      F
And you are tossing turning nursing all the
  Dm       F
years of headache that you’ve earned and I am
Dm      F                             Dm        F
not a doctor, all I do is bring you aspirin and water

[Chorus]
    C
But I

       Dm                A#               F
will swallow all the saltwater that surrounds me
     C
and you
       Dm                A#
will pour something a little stronger
                   C                  F
and hope that it might make you stronger

[Outro]
Dm F                Dm F
I am not a doctor
                       Dm F               Dm F
All I do is bring you aspirin and water

Dm F                 Dm F
I am not a doctor
Dm F                         Dm F
I cannot make you stronger
