Special Two by Missy Higgins
Capo II
Am G C
I've hardly been outside my room in days,
Am G
'cause I don't feel that I deserve the sunshine's rays.
Am G
The darkness helped until the whiskey wore away,
Am G
and it was then I realised the conscience never fades.
Am G
When you're young you have this image of your life:
Am G
that you'll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife.
Am G
And you make boundaries you'd never dream to cross,
Am G
and if you happen to you wake completely lost.
Am G
But I will fight for you, be sure that
C Am G F
I will fight until we're the special two once again.
Am G C
And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together,
F Am
our hands will not be taught to hold another's,
C
'cause we're the special two.
Am G C
And we could only see each other, we'll breathe together,
F Am
these arms will not be taught to need another's,
C
'cause we're the special two.

Am G C
I remember someone old once said to me:
Am G
"that lies will lock you up with truth the only key."
Am G
But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell,
Am G
and couldn't see this place could soon become my hell.
Am G
So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face?
Am G
Well I guess the answer is don't do it in the first place.
Am G
I know I'm not deserving of your trust from you right now,
Am G C
but if by chance you change your mind you know I will not
Am G F
let you down 'cause we were the special two, and will be again.
Am G C
And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together,
F Am
our hands will not be taught to hold another's,
C
'cause we're the special two.
Am G C
And we could only see each other, we'll breathe together,
F Am
these arms will not be taught to need another's,
F C
'cause we're the special two.
Dm G
I step outside my mind's eye's for a minute.
Dm
And I look over me like a doctor looking for disease,
Am
or something that could ease the pain.
Dm G E F
But nothing cures the hurt you bring on by yourself,
G
just remembering, just remembering how we were...
Am G C
And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together,
F Am
our hands will not be taught to hold another's,
C
'cause we're the special two.
Am G C
And we could only see each other, we'll breathe together,
F Am
these arms will not be taught to need another's,
F C
'cause we're the special two.
