Verse 1: Am E Am E

Am
Please listen closely
                                  E
I think you think you know what I want, but you don't
          E7
To want to know me
                           Am                A
Is to ask me to ask you to tell, but you won't
          Dm
And so we sit here
            Am
And talk in circles
           E
Pointed politeness
             Am
'Til we turn purple
                  F                                                                    E
Oh really, can we cut it all and break the walls and talk like we've been married forty years?

Verse 2:
          Am
And so we dance, dear
                            E
Nose to nose but wanting to be mouth to mouth
           E7
Give it a chance, dear
                                    Am               A
Break the ice if there's ice, or at least ask me how
           Dm
Because we sit here
               Am
Both with this knowing
                  E
There's something under
        Am
Forever growing
                  F
Oh really, can we cut it all and break the walls
                                      E
And not talk like we're married fifty years?

Chorus:
                         Am E Am E
I know you're bored like me

Verse 3:
           Am
So tell me kindly
                            E
I wonder if you love like I love loving you
              E7
I'm going in blindly
                                      Am            A
So make the risk want the risk like I want you to do
               Dm                     Am
Just scrap the questions take off the masks
        E                               Am
Let the curtain fall and lead me to the dark
            F
Oh, darling are you there say a word
                                         E
I will not use this mouth for chatter anymore

Chorus:
(nc)                         Am E Am E
Oh, I know you're bored like me
