Tom: Dm
F Dm
This life is punctuated by some missteps,
Am C7
failing to glean the right emphasis and the meaning.
F Dm
This life is punctuated like a texting
Am C7
session between two overheated, insecure teens.
[Chorus]
Dm Gm C7
You try to say what you mean,
F Dm Am C7
“I have to leave but I’m not ready.”
Dm Gm C7
Lip-sync the comforting scene.
F Dm Am C7
Trembling jaws can’t stop stuttering.
[Break]
Bb Gm F Am (x2)
[Verse]
Fdim C7
I can't see you when I need to.
F A Gm
How am I supposed to get through?
Fdim C7
Method-actor, suffering
F A Gm Gm7
Try repeating once again this time with feeling.
[Outro]
F C F Bb C
Premeditated like some sick joke waited all night for you.
Ebm
Waited all night for you.
