Against The Kitchen Floor

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D7                   G
  I don't owe you my heart,
                      Am
and I don't owe you my  body
                                D
But you should know that I'm sorry for being careless
    G
with you
D7                    G
  Lord knows I own you more than I'm pretty sure I ever
     Am
could  give anybody
                                 D
But I can't pin down what normal people want from foreign
objects
                            G
Bottom shelf erotic products like me

[Pre-Chorus]
G7
  So,
Am                                  D
I could hold your hand but keep you at arm's length
Oh,
    Bm7                                  Em
hang   me from a branch too high to climb  and shake
     Am
Less rare than scarce,
less diamond than rough
      D7                Ddim7             D7
Unlikely to be more than     just the coal  you fail to
crush

[Chorus]
    G C                 G
And I  swear I'm really trying
         Am
Get it together, Will,
know and do better
                   D
It just don't come natural to me to think that you'd want
me for me
G C                  G
I  swear, I'm really trying
        Am
Oh, I'm sorry, I promise,
I'm doing my bеst
       D
I just haven't learned how to be human as you are yet

[Verse 2]
D7                           G
  I still don't know who you are,
                          Am
I only know that I'm still  lonely
                            D
That morbid sort where even company can't cure me
And the more you reassure,
          G
the less I trust
But still you gave me your heart,
                  Am
I only gave you my  body
                          D
Honestly thought nobody'd want it,
let alone notice it's gone
                           G
And so I left it home, but now, now, now,
   G7
now

[Pre-Chorus]
         Am                               D
I keep a locket with a picture of the back of my head
       Bm7
Oh, monkeywrench my side view mirrors,
Em
ghost my friends
                Am
I've lived more lives than enough,
I haven't died quite as much
           D7
But I'm not  a real person,
Ddim7         D7
     just the shit you can't make up

[Chorus]
    G C                 G
And I  swear I'm really trying
              Am
I'm just as exposed if I take off my clothes
                    D
When we make the closest thing to love that I'm capable of
    G                          C
And I don't know why you would care,
               G
but I'm really trying
        Am
Oh, I'm sorry, I promise,
I'm doing my best
       D
I just haven't learned how to be human as you are yet

[Pre-Chorus]
             Am                              D
Did I really have any of that gravity? Maybe you're
quicksand
              Bm7                              Em
Because I really couldn't tell how deep my footprints went
       Am
The vertex of my redemption arc,
the searching of that virgin heart
    D7
I'm catatonic in your arms, crying,
"How did I cause so much harm?"
    Am                                D
I'm down pounding my head against the kitchen floor
       Bm7                       Em
Apologizing for my life and ever entering yours
               Am
Don't say "I'm sorry,
but this can't go on,
" I know you've got scars of your own
    D7
But hide my knives before you go,
I'll either live or die alone

[Chorus]
G C                G
I  swear I will die trying
                 Am
I'm still in the process,
but I'm making progress
            D
I promise I honestly wanna prove improvement's possible
G C                     G
I  swear I'm so fucking sorry
               Am
I'm not a good person,
I'm barely a person at all
        D
But someday I'll be perfect,
and I'll make up for it all
