       Dm
Well I held you like a lover

      G                         C                Am
Happy hands, your elbow in the appropriate place

    Dm                           G                              C             Am
And we ignored our others' happy plans For that delicate look upon your face

    Dm
Our bodies moved and hardened

        G
Hurting parts of your garden

     C
With no room for a pardon

     Am                                    F    G
In a place where no one knows what we have done



       Dm    G
Do you come

                   C     Am
Together ever with him?

          Dm            G
And is he dark enough?

                   C      Am
Enough to see your light?

           Dm                                G
And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?

       C               Am
Do you miss my smell?

          Dm                           G
And is he bold enough to take you on?

       C                      Am
Do you feel like you belong?

            Dm              G
And does he drive you wild?

        C             Am
Or just mildly free?

     F         G
What about me?



Well you held me like a lover
Sweaty hands
And my foot in the appropriate place

We use cushions to cover happy glands
In the mild issue of our disgrace

Our minds pressed and guarded
While our flesh disregarded
The lack of space for the light-hearted 
In the boom that beats our drum

Well I know I make you cry
And I know sometimes you wanna die
But do you really feel alive without me?
If so, be free
If not, leave him for me
Before one of us has accidental babies
For we are in love

Do you come
Together ever with him?
Is he dark enough?
Enough to see your light?
Do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
Do you miss my smell?
And is he bold enough to take you on?
Do you feel like you belong?
And does he drive you wild?
Or just mildly free?

What about me?
What about me?

How to practise this song

1
Practise the barre chord F
F is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
