Verse
G B E D
They don’t make stationary like
G B C D
this where I’m from so fragile, so refined
G B E D
So I sniff and I lick
(So I snare) (and I lick)
G B C D
Your envelope and fall to little pieces every
G B C D
time I wonder what clothes you wear to
G B C D
school. I wonder how you decorate your
G B C D
room I wonder how you touch yourself and
G B C D (play fill 1)
curse myself for being across the sea
Filll 1
