Airborne

Em G A Em You said that you would call me G And when you didn’t call me A I gave you up for dead Em So I was working on a backbone G And chiseling a tombstone A When you called me up and said Em Through a wall of heavy breathing G You thought it was relieving A To be out on your own Em How a voice that used to thrill me G Could cut me up and k**l me A On the fucking telephone Em G A You did not even send me airborne anyway Em G A Why in the world I hung around it’s hard to say Em It was just another Thursday G Like any other Thursday A Except that we were through Em We were wading through the concrete G And digging through the scrap heap A Deciding what belonged to who Em All the treasure from the good days G Was going through the last phase A Of yours and yours and mine Em When something from the yours pile G Shattered on the floor tile A And you went off like Frankenstein Em G A You did not even send me airborne anyway Em G A Why in the world I hung around it’s hard to say Em I think it’s clear that I adore you G I didn’t mean to bore you A Or grind it in so deep Em I had to place another call in G I didn’t think you’d fall in A With the company you keep Em And you tell me that you love me G But you don’t really love me A You remind me every day Em When you’re living in a flood plain G It doesn’t take a hard rain A To wash it all away Em G A You did not even send me airborne anyway Em G A Why in the world I hung around it’s hard to say
