Catherine Opens A Window

C/G So you turn over Em Whisper into my shoulder Am F G That you're not clever enough to be sleeping with me C/G But it's not about schooling Em It's more about using Am What you've been given, F G What you've got and what you've got is more than enough C/G I remember when cancer Em Was just a constellation Am A starry-eyed crustacean with nothing F G To say of whether you and I live or die C/G I don't remember Glasgow Em Until I was fourteen Am It's where people I know tend to let themselves F G Go when they've got something to bring to an end C/G Well, it's one, two, three steps in the cul-de-sac Em You and me, your feet on the ground, Am Mine hitting your back we're F G Running so fast that we smash into the bins C/G And we tumble over Em Catherine opens a window Am 'Now boys, that's not how you play' F G Catherine, just wait, what a peculiar thing to say C/G I remember Maxwell Em I remember his mum too Am Her hands in the cool drawer of the F G Fridge and her man's fists on the window ledge. C/G I remember Michaela Em I remember her last name Am I know she could dance, F G I know she could hide, and that she won a netball game C/G But she's gone now, Em Sticks in the corner. Am F G There's a bus ticket in the breast pocket of her green blazer. F G C Cmaj7/B Am Her mum has hung it up to dry in the airing cupboard F G C Cmaj7/B Am In the hope that she might need it the morning after. F G C/G Just once, maybe forever, again. Well, it's one, two, three steps in the cul-de-sac Em Am You and me, your feet on the ground, mine hitting your back F G We're running so fast that we smash into the bins C/G And we tumble over Em Catherine opens a window Am 'Now boys, that's not how you play' F G Catherine, just wait, 'well, you know you'll both have jobs one day' C/G
