Wish  I could remember
 why it mattered  to me.
 It doesnt matter  to me.
 It doesnt matter  to me
 anymore.
 Now that youre
 feeling fine,
 Ill admit  that though
 I know its coming down,
 and see it shattering me
  it doesnt matter to me,
 and Im not sadder for
 seeing it come.
 Im not going to run.
 I will just come
 when I am called.
 You want to cut  me off
 because I took  too much,
 but dont leave  me alone
 Take off your scarves,
 your winter coat.
 The nights too cold.
 When we met I should have said
 youre like a sister to me,
 how all that kiss her just seem
 like puny suitors I can see through,
 how none will do,
 no not for you,
 how it might as well just be us two.
 And when I pulled you by the jacket
 from the clattering street,
 you started flattering me,
 you started saying I was so strong.
 String me along,
 but I cant become
 all that Im called.
 And I cant claim to know
 what makes love die or grow,
 but I can still take control
 and so refuse to just go home,
 back down the hall.
 And as I crawl,
 as finally all
 the false confetti blooms
 up in this attic room,
 Im going make my stand.
 I want to see both of your hands
 put down the phone.
 I wont let you go,
 although
 the moment stole
 my self-control
 from us all
 and now it can only end
 end with a fall.

[C]Wish I could remember
why it [G]mattered to me.
It doesnt m[Dm]atter to me.
It doesnt m[F]atter to me
a[C]nymore.
Now that y[Am]oure
feeling f[G]ine,
Ill ad[F]mit that  though

I know its coming down,
and see it shattering me
 it doesnt matter to me,
and Im not sadder for
seeing it come.
Im not going to run.
I will just come
when I am called.
You want to [Dm]cut me [G]off
because I t[Dm]ook too m[G]uch,
but dont lea[F]ve me alone
Take off your s[Am]carves,
your winter c[G]oat.
The nights too co[F]ld.    [Fm]

When we met I should have said

And when I pulled you by the jacket

And I cant claim to know

but I can still take control
and so refuse to just go home,
back down the hall.

And as I crawl,

Im going make my stand.
I want to see both of your hands
put down the phone.

I wont let you go,
although

my self-control
from us all
and now it can only end
end with a fall.
