your husband,
E
he drinks like a writer,
A
but he writes like a banker,
G D
i hope his pens all run dry.
you watch him from your cave in the corner,
full moon eyes flame and flicker,
the wild way that i like.
This lead part is played during the next verse.

from my part,
i pretend i don't notice
dumb friend you're a poet,
and i could do this all night.
G
and i'll stay like that,
D
hands locked in my lap,
Em A
what i want jailed up in my mind,
G
until i slide to sleep
D
where you're waitin' for me,
Em
and we do what we want to,
A
and shut ourselves off for the night.
Not Muted
D Em A G D
til morning barrels in like a brides maid,
drunk and desperate for her day,
drags me out, picks a fight.
and i see i'm alone here
picture frames and a hot plate
stubborn sun spites the hallways
paint chips blink yellow white.
and i'm stretching, in the act of forgetting,
bear teeth and blood letting,
signals crossed half my life.
G
and the local grown
sees your notes towards my home,
Em
dreaming fits as we crawl underground,
G
and you're shedding skin,
so i keep what i can.
Em
yeah i fill up my pockets,
and stuff all that's left in my mouth.
now you are a part of me,
for as long as i sleep.
i could trick myself into a trance,
where were as firm as facts,
and i don't give you back
every morning the sun comes to shuttle you back to your man.
Feedback is appreciated.
