He comes for conversation, I comfort him sometimes

D5 D5addC# Dsus4 Asus4 F E Asus4 (D5)

Comfort and consultation, he knows that's what he'll find

D5 D5addC# Dsus4 Asus4 D5 D5addC# Dsus4 Asus4

I bring him apples and cheeses, he brings me songs to play

D5 D5addC# Dsus4 Asus4 F E Asus4

He sees me when he pleases, I see him in cafes

D5 Dsus4

And I only say, hello, and turn away before his lady knows

D7sus4 Dsus4 Asus4

How much I want to see him

D5 Dsus4

She removes him, like a ring to wash her hands

D7sus4 Dsus4 D

She only brings him out to show her friends

(n.c.) D5 D5addC# Dsus4 D5 D5addC# Dsus4

I want to free him

Secrets and sharing soda, that's how our time began

Love is a story told to a friend, it's secondhand

But I'll listen to his questions, I'll give my answers when they're found

He says she keeps him guessing, but I know she keeps him down

She speaks in sorry sentences, miraculous repentances

I don't believe her

Tomorrow he will come to me and speak his sorrow endlessly

And ask me why

Why can't I leave her?

He comes for conversation, I comfort him sometimes

Comfort and consultation, he knows that's what he'll find

F E Asus4 D5 D5addC# Dsus4

He knows that's what--- he'll find

D5 D5addC# Dsus4 (repeat and fade, with "de de de de" backing vocals)
