Strum
D-DU-UDU
Here  you sit on your high-backed chair
Wonder  how the view is from there
I  wouldn't know 'cause I like to sit
Upon  the floor, yeah upon  the floor
If  you like we could play a game
Let's  pretend that we are the same
But  you will have to look much closer
Than  you do, closer than  you do
And  I'm far too tired  to stay here anymore
And  I don't care what  you think anyway
'Cause  I think you were  wrong about me
Yeah  what if you were,  what if you were
And  what if I'm a snowstorm  burning
What  if I'm a world  unturning
What  if I'm an ocean,
far  too shallow, much  too deep
What  if I'm the kindest  demon
Something  you may not  believe in
What  if I'm a siren  singing
gentlemen  to sleep
I  know you've got it figured out
Tell  me what I am all about
And  I just might learn a thing or two
Hundred  about you, maybe  about you
I'm  the end of your telescope
I  don't change just to suit your vision
'Cause  I am bound by a fraying rope
Around  my hands, tied around  my hands
And  you close your eyes when  I say I'm breaking free
And  put your hands over both  your ears
Because  you cannot stand  to believe I'm not
The  perfect girl you thought  Well what have I got to lose
And  what if I'm a  weeping willow
Laughing  tears upon  my pillow
What  if I'm a socialite
who  wants to be alone
What  if I'm a toothless  leopard
What  if I'm a sheepless  shepherd
What  if I'm an angel  without
wings  to take me  home
You  don't know  me
Never  will,  never will
I'm  outside  your picture frame
And  the glass  is breaking now
You  can't see  me
Never  will,  never will
If  you're never gonna see
What  if I'm a crowded  desert
Too  much pain with  little pleasure
What  if I'm the nicest  place
you  never want to  go
What  if I don't know  who I am
Will  that keep us  both from trying
To  find out and when  you have
Be  sure to let me  know
What  if I'm a snowstorm  burning
What  if I'm a world  unturning
What  if I'm an ocean,  far too
shallow,  much too  deep
What  if I'm the kindest  demon
Something  you may  not believe in
What  if I'm a siren  singing
Gentlemen  to sleep
Sleep...
Sleep...
