[Verse]
               D      
You wait for a silence
  A              
I wait for a word
F#m7             D    
Lie next to your frame
     E         
Girl unobserved
    F#m7                
You change your position
D           A        E 
And you are changing me
F#m7          Bm7    
Casting these shadows
                     A 
Where they shouldn't be
F#m7  D              A               E  
We're interrupted by the heat of the sun
F#m7      D                      E    
Trying to prevent what's already begun
E                 
You're just a body
F#m7  A          E   
I can smell your skin
A          Bm7                    A   
And when I feel it you're wearing thin


[Chorus]
    Bm7      A D   
But I've got a plan
    E            F#m       
Why don't you be the artist
    D              A   
And make me out of clay
          E          F#m   
Why don't you be the writer
    D                A    
And decide the words I say
           F#m7   Bm7    
'cause I'd rather pretend
     Esus4                 F#m7
I'll still be there at the end 
A                     Bm7
Only it's too hard to ask
          Esus4          Bm7
Won't you try to help me ■  


[Verse]
F#m7             D         A          E      
■    Sat on your sofa it's all broken springs
F#m7           D               F#m    E      
This isn't the place for those violin strings
            D           A         E  
I try out a smile and I aim it at you
A        Bm7           
You must have missed it
Esus4 A        
You   always do


[Chorus]
E7                 
But I've got a plan
E                    F#m   
Why don't you be the artist
    D                  
And make me out of clay
A         E                
Why don't you be the writer
F#m D                     
And decide the words I say
A          F#m7          
'cause I'd rather pretend
Bm7  Esus4    E7              
I'll still be there at the end
A                        
Only it's too hard to ask
Bm7       Esus4          A
Won't you try to help me ■


[Bridge]
D               Esus4   E       F#m7       
You wait I wait casting shadows interrupted
    D      F#m  E               F#m7       
You wait I wait casting shadows interrupted
D               E               F#m7       
You wait I wait casting shadows interrupted
    D           A       Esus4   E
You wait I wait casting shadows ■


[Chorus]
Esus4 E                F#m   
Why   don't you be the artist
    D           A      
And make me out of clay
          E      F#m7      
Why don't you be the writer
    D                  A  
And decide the words I say
       F#m7       Bm7    
'cause I'd rather pretend
     Esus4    E7           F#m7
I'll still be there at the end 
     A                Bm7
Only it's too hard to ask
          Esus4         
Won't you try to help me


[Outro]
    E            F#m       
Why don't you be the artist
    D              A   
And make me out of clay
    E                F#m7  
Why don't you be the writer
    D                A    
And decide the words I say
           F#m    Bm     
'cause I'd rather pretend
     E                     F#m
I'll still be there at the end
                      B  
Only it's too hard to ask
          Esus4          A
Won't you try to help me ■
