Am F C E x2
Am E F x2

        Am
Miss you terribly already,
        F
Miss the space between your eyelids,
         C
where Iʼd stare through awkward sentences
   E
and avoid through awkward silence

         Am
Miss your teeth when they chatter,
        F
when we smoked out in my garden
        C
When we couldnʼt sleep for all the heat,
    E
soft talk began to harden.

          Am
Miss your small hands in the palm of mine
     F
The fact theyʼre good at making,
          C
Miss your sitting up incessantly,
        E                                Am      F
And the fact youʼre always waking in the ni------ght,
Am     E      F
Ni---------ght.

    C
And I,
                  Am
I hope for your life
                   F
You forget about mine
               Am    E    F
Forget about mi-----------ne

         Am
Miss your teeth dug in my shoulder,
     F
as we rolled in early morning,
        C
Miss your arm dying beneath me,
    E
as I lay there simply yawning

          Am
Please forget me, you were right dear,
      F
I am cold and self-involved,
           C
And though Iʼll miss you, recent lover
      E
I am weak and therefore fold

      Am
Get distracted by my music,
         F
think of nothing else but art
             C
Iʼll write my loneliness in poems,
        E
If I can just think how to start

           Am
Dot my iʼs with eyebrow pencils,
          F
Close my eyelids, hide my eyes,
        C
Iʼll be idle in my ideals,
            E
think of nothing else but I.

Am    F        Am  E   F
I,         and I
    C
And I,

                   Am
I hope for your life
                     F
You can forget about mine
                   Am    E     F
Just forget about mi----------ne
     Am    E     F
Oh, mi----------ne.
 Am    E    F
Mi----------ne
