Tom : Em
Em
On the threshold
G
Of a decent conversation
Bm
When i can hear the door
Slam
A
I know the face you’re
Making
[Refrão]
Em
And i really want to talk
To you
G
I really really wanted to
But once you get your
Bm
Mind made up
There is no getting
[Próxima Parte]
A
Through to you
Em
For a while it was touching
G
For a while it was challenging
Bm
Before it became typical
And now it really
A
Isn’t interesting
Em G Bm A
To see a grown man cry
Em G Bm A
To see a grown man cry
Em
I’m lying on the sofa
G
And the radio is blaring
And i’m scanning
Bm
Through the stations
As the boys declare
Am
Their feelings
But it doesn’t
Em
Feel like feelings
It feels like
G
They’re pretending
It’s like they
Bm
Just want blowjobs
And they know these
A
Songs will get them
Em
And i really want to talk
To you
G
I really really wanted to
Bm
But i have learned my lesson now
And you’re not the one
A
I’m turning to
And for a while it was
Em
Touching
G
For a while it was challenging
Bm
Before it got habitual
And now it really
A
Isn’t interesting
Em G Bm A
To see a grown man cry
Em G Bm A
To see a grown man cry
Em G Bm A
I was the first to warn you
Em G Bm A
I lay myself before you
Em G Bm A
I was the first to warn you
Em G Bm A
I put myself before you
Em
We are standing on the
Corner
And you’re throwing
G
Down the gauntlet
F#m
It is not a life decision
We just need
A
To pick a restaurant
Em
After all this i should know
You
Well enough not to get
G
Into it
I should learn but I’m an
F#m
Idiot
A
You only want an argument
Em
And for a while it was
Touching
G
It was almost even comforting
Bm
Before it became typical
And now it really
A
Is not interesting
Em G Bm A
To see a grown man cry
Em G Bm A
To see a grown man cry
Em G Bm A
To see a grown man
Throw a temper fit
To see a grown man
G
Cross his arms
And sit as if the
Bm
Whole wide world would end
A
If he was not a part of it
But at the same time
Em
With no confidence
Never realizing
G
The consequence he’s having
Bm
On the ones he loves
Because he thinks
A
He makes no difference
We are standing
Em
On the threshold
G
Of a decent conversation
Bm
When i can hear the door
Slam
A
I know the face you’re
Making
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
A
Through to you
