and get yourself laid.

The moment I was gone

D C#m
Ok, I’m sorry.
Bm C#m
I’m just a little angry with you.
D C#m
'Cause it dug like a quarry
Bm C#m
when you were angry with me.
D C#m
And maybe it’s not right?
Yeah, but hell with it!
Bm C#m
I’m angry with you.
D C#m
Is there not enough light?
Bm
Or do you just not see?
What you do
is what you hated in me?
Though I was never free enough to.
