    G
You move me and the chains changed
  Em
I take a nervous space

month  after month
          C
after month
                        D
mouth after mouth after mouth
          G
I said a  nightmare
                                    Em
Complete with barking dogs and coke machines
                     C
Keep feeding my baby chicken
                   D
Keep touching like spacemen
              G
I'm obviously  confused, I said
               Em
I'm more, more worried for you than for me
        C      D
And  he (?)
G
Cry baby cry
     Em
Cry, fight it
                     C
I'm not ever getting out
                    D
I am always getting sicker
          G
Love that person who laugh at me
              Em
I found  last September in a notebook
                        C
It was too much for the book to hold
                       D
That's how come I wore raincoats
       G
I said first a suicide
                         Em
without a note and now a note without a suicide
        C                                        D
First a look without a note and a look without a suicide
        G
She said maybe death is  my answer
     Em                             C        D
But love is the answer of life
G
Cry baby cry cry
   Em
I  fight it
                     C
I'm not ever getting out
                    D
I am always getting sicker
         G
She said first a suicide
                        Em
without a note and now a note without a suicide
       C
I said maybe death is my answer
    D                     G
But love is the answer of life.
