You wait for a silence, I wait for a word

Lying next to your frame, Girl unobserved
C Em D (alt)
You change your position, You're changing me
B/C D (alt) G
Casting these shadows, Where they shouldn't be
C Em D (alt)
We're interrupted, By the heat of the sun
C Em D (alt)
Trying to prevent, What's already begun
C Em D (alt)
You're just a body, I can smell your skin
B/C D(alt) G
And when I feel it, You're wearing thin
B/C C
But I've got a plan
D (alt) Em (alt) C G
Why don't you be the artist, And make me out of clay?
D (alt) Em (alt) C G
Why don't you be the writer, Decide the words I say?
Em7 B/C D (alt) Em (alt)
Cause I'd rather pretend, I'll still be there at the end
G B/C D (alt) . . . . . . .
Only it's too hard to ask, Won't you try to help me?
