[Verse]
               D      
You wait for a silence
  A          E   
I wait for a word
                 D    
Lie next to your frame
Gbm  E         
Girl unobserved
                D       
You change your position
            A        E 
And you are changing me
Dbm7               Bm7    
■    Casting these shadows
      A                
Where they shouldn't be
      D                       A      E  
We're interrupted by the heat of the sun
          D              Gbm     E    
Trying to prevent what's already begun
Gbm               D   
■   You're just a body
            A    E   
I can smell your skin
Dbm7            Bm7            A           
■    And when I feel it you're wearing thin


[Chorus]
Bm           Dbm7 D   
But I've got a    plan
E             Gbm    D     
Why don't you be the artist
                A      
And make me out of clay
E             Gbm          
Why don't you be the writer
D                    A      
And decide the words ■ I say
Gbm               Bm     
'cause I'd rather pretend
E                      Gbm    
I'll still be there at the end
E         A   Bm         
Only it's too hard to ask
E                     E7 E Bm7
Won't you try to help me ■ ■  


[Verse]
D      E         A                 E      
Sat on your sofa ■ it's all broken springs
     D                                E      
This isn't the place for those violin strings
  D               A               E  
I try out a smile and I aim it at you
Dbm7          Bm7      
You must have missed it
           A 
You always do


[Chorus]
         Dbm       
But I've got a plan
D         E          Gbm   
Why don't you be the artist
         D             
And make me out of clay
A         E          Gbm   
Why don't you be the writer
           D              
And decide the words I say
A          Gbm    Bm     
'cause I'd rather pretend
              E            Abm7
I'll still be there at the end 
          A           Bm 
Only it's too hard to ask
              E         
Won't you try to help me


[Verse]
D E Gbm D               E               Gbm         D
■ ■ ■   You wait I wait casting shadows interrupted ■
                E               Gbm         D
You wait I wait casting shadows interrupted ■
                E               Gbm         D
You wait I wait casting shadows interrupted ■
                Dbm     E      
You wait I wait casting shadows


[Chorus]
                     Gbm   
Why don't you be the artist
    D              A   
And make me out of clay
          E          Gbm   
Why don't you be the writer
    D                A    
And decide the words I say
           Gbm    Bm

I'll still be there at the end 
          A           Bm 
Only it's too hard to ask
Bm7       E             
Won't you try to help me
                     Gbm   
Why don't you be the artist
    D              A   
And make me out of clay
          E          Gbm   
Why don't you be the writer
    D                  A  
And decide the words I say
           Gbm    Bm     
'cause I'd rather pretend
     E                     Gbm7
I'll still be there at the end 
     A                Bm7 Bm
Only it's too hard to ask ■ 
          E              A
Won't you try to help me ■
