F     133211
C     x32010
G     320003
E     022100
E(#9) 022103
Em    022000



[Chorus]

Am                     F               C
Just put one in my head, I want you to
              G               Am
One in my head, I dare you to
          F               C
Every day, I live for you
             E       E(#9)
Every breath, I draw for you



[Verse 1]

Am
Concerning what we began
             F
I lactate and starve
                     Em
While you're still waiting for your moment
              Am
We could have anything we want

Except a better view
       F
If our lives mean nothing
     Em           E
Then why is it so hard for you



[Chorus]

Am                      F              C
Just put one in my head, I want you to
               G             Am
One in my head, I beg you to
          F                    C
Every day, another flash of hope

And then:
E           E(#9)
Back to the same old lie



[Verse 2]

Am 
Same layer of paint
                  F
Same look on your face while you undress
               Em
Like you're hoping to find something else
        Am
Same old sow

Gun locked in the drawer
                         F
It's not love but it's more than we deserve
             Em                         E
I've been hoping you'd work up the nerve

     Am 
My sad clown



[Chorus]
               F             C
One in my head, I want you to
               G              Am
One in my head, I dare you to
          F              C
Every day, I live for you
          E       E(#9)
Every breath, I draw for you



[Instrumental Bridge]

Am
(vamp for 2-4 bars)



[Verse 3]

         Am
Is there someone here

Trapped inside of your head
      F                                Em
Is it strange I can't remember ever seeing you look satisfied
Am
Underneath

Thirty years of restraint
               F
You've been milking your contempt
      Em             E
Until everything shut down

       Am         F
Now my face feels wrong
C            G
Petrified by quiet hatred
     Am          F
This house feels wrong
        C
Sucking both of our lives into it
G                       
Quietly slowing us down



[Outro]

Am F           C                E            E(#9)        Am
       I could do it myself but I'll just wait my turn
