the  early cars  already  are
 drawing  deep  breaths past  my door
and  last night's phrases  sick  with lack of basis
 are  still writhing  on  my floor
and  it doesn't seem fair
 that  your wicked words  should work  in holding me down
no  it doesn't seem right
 to take  information  given  at close range
 for the gag  and the bind  and the ammunition  round
Conversation  once colored  by esteem
 Became dialogue  as a diagram  of a play  for blood
Took  a vacation,  my palate  got clean
 Now I could taste  your agenda
 While you spit  in your cud
And  it doesn't make sense
 I should fall  for the kingcraft  of a meritless  crown
No,  it doesn't seem right
 To take  information  Given  at close range
 For the gag  and the bind  and the ammunition  round
  ..Q* *
  this is not about love
  ..Q* *
  cause I am not in love
 in  fact I  can't stop  falling out
  ..Q* *
  this is not about love
  ..Q* *
  cause I am not in love
 in  fact I  can't stop  falling out
  I  miss that stupid ache
.  x2
what  is this posture  I have  to stare  at
 that's  what they said  when I was sitting  up straight
 change the name  of the game  'cause he lost
 and  he knew he  was wrong but  he knew it too late
but  I'm not being fair
 cause I  chose to listen  to that filthy  mouth
 but I'd like to choose right
 take  all the things  that I've said  that he stole
 put  'em in a sack  swing 'em over  my shoulder
 turn  on my heels  step  out of his sight
 try to live  in a lovelier  life
  ..Q* *
  this is not about love
  ..Q* *
  cause I am not in love
 in  fact I  can't stop  falling out
  ..Q* *
  this is not about love
  ..Q* *
  cause I am not in love
 in  fact I  can't stop  falling out
  I  miss that stupid ache

[C]the early c[E]ars  al[C]ready a[E]re
d[F]rawing d[E]eep breaths p[Am]ast my door
[C]and last night's ph[E]rases si[C]ck with lack of ba[E]sis
a[F]re still wri[E]thing on[Am] my floor
[A7]and it doesn't seem fair
t[F]hat your wicked wo[C]rds should wo[Dm]rk in holding me down
[A7]no it doesn't seem right
to t[F]ake informa[C]tion giv[F]en at close ran[C]ge
for the g[F]ag and the bi[C]nd and the amm[F]unition  ro[E]und

[C]Conversatio[E]n once co[C]lored by e[E]steem
Became di[F]alogue as a [E]diagram of a p[Am]lay for blood
[C]Took a vac[E]ation, my p[C]alate got [E]clean
Now I could t[F]aste your ag[E]enda
While you sp[Am]it in your cud
[A7]And it doesn't make sense
I should fa[F]ll for the ki[C]ngcraft of a meri[Dm]tless crown
[A7]No, it doesn't seem right
To t[F]ake inform[C]ation Giv[F]en at close ran[C]ge
For the ga[F]g and the b[C]ind and the a[F]mmunition r[E]ound

[C]what is this p[E]osture I [C]have to sta[E]re at
t[F]hat's what they s[E]aid when I was sit[Am]ting up straight
[C] change the n[E]ame of the ga[C]me 'cause he los[E]t
a[F]nd he knew h[E]e was wrong but[Am] he knew it too late
[A7]but I'm not being fair
