Verse: Cm Drowning in the Blue Nile G# He sent me Downtown Lights D# I hadnʼt heard it in a while Cm My boredom was bone deep G# This cage was once just fine D# allowed to cry? Cm I dream of cracking locks G# Throwing my life to the wolves Cm Or the ocean rocks crashing into him tonight Heʼs a paradox Iʼm seeing visions G# Cm 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 Cm How can I be guilty as sin Verse: Cm G# I keep these longings locked D# Cm In lowercase inside a vault G# Someone told me thereʼs no such things as bad thoughts D# Only your actions talk Cm These fatal fantasies D# Giving way too labored breath Taking all of me Cm 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: Cm G# What if I roll the stone away? A# Theyʼre gonna crucify me anyway D# Cm What if the way you hold me G# Is actually whatʼs holy D# Cm G# If long-suffering propiety is what they want from me A# D# They donʼt know how youʼve haunted me os stunningly Cm 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?
