What I'm Trying To Say

[D]You look so good in the clothes of a[E] poser
[D]And when you smiled all the kids fel[A]l apart here
[D]I know a place where it's warm and i[E]t's dry, dear
[D]Let me take you there

[D]North of the river all the streets ar[E]e the same
[D]We can pretend that they don't know o[A]ur name
[D]And the heat is turned all the way to[E] full
[D]So don't pretend that you don't feel the pull

[Bm]I am trying to say
[D]What I want to say
[Bm]Without having to say
[D]"I love you"[A]

You look so good in the shoes of an outcast
I kissed your throat every time they said it wouldn't last
But then I knew you, I knew you, I knew you
I really knew you

We fell apart in the parties of the empty heart
We danced the junkies in the shadows of bad modern art
We clicked our heels and we wished we were home
One more tab and your silk hits the chrome

[D]Springs comes in when I'm rolling up [A]another one
I draw the curtains in the glare of the same old sun
We are collapsed in the act of just being here
Three blues, two greens and a beer...
We are collapsed in the act of just being here
Three blues, two greens and a beer...
