[Verse 1]~
G Em
Rejections a constant,..!! bitterness comes with age
C
Once or twice a lifetime you get days like today
G Em
And I hope no one pissed on this milk crate
D
I hope no pissed on this milk crate
G
Where there's no tidying up
And nothing falls and no one breaks
Em
You can't say I'm disgusting
C
If you don't mean it that way
G Em
And I hope no one comes down this laneway
D
I hope no one comes down this laneway
G
And I woke up before the sun in the arms of a tough girl
Em C
Heard me speaking lately you've
Heard me speaking about her and
[Pre-Chorus]~
G
Last night I said,..!! "I love you" without a hint of fear
Em D C
Last night I said,..!! "I love you" nothing exploded,..!! no one disappeared
[Chorus]~
C D
And the realisation shatters through me
Em
That I'm the villain in this movie
G
But I've got no script and no direction
D
I just want you to let me love you
C
I just want you to let me love you
G
I just wanted you to let me
[Verse 2]~
G Em
Dialogue is diluted by strangers and thin walls
C
Little murmur runs through the audience
The first time he calls
G Em
You hang up and a sinking feeling falls amongst the crowd
D
Someone whispers to their wife
G
"My god,..!! what's she doing now!!..?"
"My future never really mattered much at all,..!!"
Em C
I mutter to you down a telephone lying on the bathroom floor
[Pre-Chorus]~
G Em
And last night I said,..!! "I love you" without fear
D C
Last night I said,..!! "I love you" and I disappeared
[Chorus]~
C D
And the realisation shatters through me
Em
That I'm the villain in this movie
G
But I've got no script and no direction
D
I just want you to let me love you
C
I just want you to let me love you
G Em
I just wanted you to let me
[Bridge]~
G Em
And all I think I'd need to cast off insecurities
G
Is for you to write something for me
Em
Like I write for you incessantly
G Em
But I don't live in your mind the way that you do in mine
G D
And my feet stick to the floor of the shower
Em C
But we get evicted in three-quarters of an hour
G D Em C D
And you rub paw-paw on a new tattoo and say,..!! "One day there'll be a song about you!"
G Em
One day there'll be a song for you
C D
One day there'll be a song about you
G Em
One day there'll be a song for you
C D
One day there'll be a song about you
G Em
And I know that you hated me that time
G/F# D G
But I've made up for that now haven't I!!..?
Em G/F D G
Soaked in spotlights spitting vitriol without the corresponding kind
[Outro]~
G Em
One day there'll be a song for you
C D
One day there'll be a song about you
G Em
One day there'll be a song for you
C D
One day there'll be a song about you
