Intro
Am
verse 1
Am
I want to cut off all my hair
F
And go out walkin' in the cold
Dm
Carve myself a new hole
E
And talk just like before
Am
I want to starve myself of blankets
F
And sleep here on the floor
Dm Am
Oh god don't let this be love
verse 2
Am
Stop calling me your lover
F
We'll stop talking on the phone
Dm
'Cause such a pretty voice
E
Just makes me miss the dial tone
Am
So I'm gonna rip out my own heart
F
Who so clearly has betrayed
Dm
My quest for being lonely and my
E Am
Promise of the same
verse 3
Am
Well if I had a choice
F
And I'm only partly sure I do
Dm
I'd gather all my things and I'd
E
Leave town and I'd leave you
Am
Take up a residence just off the coast and
F
Drown a year or two
Dm Am
Oh god don't let this be love
verse 4
Am
And if winter fell upon you
F
Well I'd be outside in the snow
Dm
Not thinkin' about your red hat
E
No not missin' you at all
Am
I'd light up a new bad habit
F
Start talking in the night
Dm
If I ever thought of you I'd say
E Am
Well I still think I was right
Verse 5
Am
Well the bird at my new window
F
Soon be outside my new door
Dm
Askin' me for flowers
E
And of what had come before
Am
And I'd do my best to tell her
F
I ain't never been in love
Dm Am
But god I ain't so sure
Verse 6
Am
So I took to writing postcards
F
Send greetings from the coast
Dm
It's a shame I lost your address
E
'Cause I'm sure by now you've moved
Am
So I'll never get the chance to see
F
Your new home up in flames
Dm
Well if I had a match then you'd be
E Am
Certain that would change
