Verse: Bm Drowning in the Blue Nile G He sent me Downtown Lights D I hadnʼt heard it in a while Bm My boredom was bone deep G This cage was once just fine D allowed to cry? Bm I dream of cracking locks G Throwing my life to the wolves Bm Or the ocean rocks crashing into him tonight Heʼs a paradox Iʼm seeing visions G Bm bad or mad or wise? Chorus: D What if heʼs written "mine" on my upper thigh A G Only in my mind? D One slip, Iʼm falling back into the hedge maze A G Oh, what a way to die D I keep recalling things we never did A Messy top lip kiss G How I long for our A Without ever touching his skin Bm How can I be guilty as sin Verse: Bm G I keep these longings locked D Bm In lowercase inside a vault G Someone told me thereʼs no such things as bad thoughts D Only your actions talk Bm These fatal fantasies D Giving way too labored breath Taking all of me Bm Weʼve already done it in my head G If itʼs make believe, why does it feel like a vow weʼll both uphold somehow? Chorus: D What if heʼs written "mine" on my upper thigh A G Only in my mind? D One slip, Iʼm falling back into the hedge maze A G Oh, what a way to die D My bedsheets are ablaze, I screamed his name A G Building up back waves crashing over my grave A Without ever touching his skin D How can I be guilty as sin Bridge: Bm G What if I roll the stone away? A Theyʼre gonna crucify me anyway D Bm What if the way you hold me G Is actually whatʼs holy D Bm G If long-suffering propiety is what they want from me A D They donʼt know how youʼve haunted me os stunningly Bm G I choose you and me, religously Chorus: D What if heʼs written "mine" on my upper thigh A G Only in my mind? D One slip, Iʼm falling back into the hedge maze A G Oh, what a way to die D I keep recalling things we never did A Messy top lip kiss G How I long for our A Without ever touching his skin D How can I be guilty as sin Outro: A G He sent me downtown lies D I hadnʼt heard it in a while A G allowed to cry?
