	  Intro:  C  Em  D (3x) 
           C  Em  G 

     C           Em 
You wait for a silence 
   G          D 
I wait for a word 
       C            Em 
Lying next to your frame 
 G       D 
Girl unobserved 
      C           Em 
You change your position 
          G     D 
You're changing me 
   C            Em 
Casting these shadows 
       D             G 
Where they shouldn't be 

C           Em 
We're interrupted 
        G          D 
By the heat of the sun 
C           Em 
Trying to prevent 
         G       D 
What's already begun 
C              Em 
You're just a body 
        G        D 
I can smell your skin 
     C          Em 
And when I feel it 
         D      G 
You're wearing thin 

     Em      C  D 
But I've got a plan 
           C           G 
Why don't you be the artist 
     Em             D 
And make me out of clay? 
           C           Em 
Why don't you be the writer 
  G                D 
Decide the words I say? 
            Em     G 
Cause I'd rather pretend 
            D               C 
I'll still be there at the end 
           C           Em 
Only it's too hard to ask 
           D          G 
Won't you try to help me? 

C           Em 
Sat on your sofa 
     G            D 
It's all broken springs 
       C           Em 
This isn't the place for 
        G        D 
Those violin strings 
   C           Em 
I try out a smile 
      G         D 
And I aim it at you 
     C           Em 
You must have missed it 
       D    G 
You always do 

     Em      C  D 
But I've got a plan 
           C           G 
Why don't you be the artist 
     Em             D 
And make me out of clay? 
           C           Em

            D               C

           C           Em 
Only it's too hard to ask 
           D          G 
Won't you try to help me? 

 C 
You wait 
        Em 
I wait 
Em         D 
Casting shadows 
    D 
Interrupted 

 C 
You wait 
        Em 
I wait 
Em         D 
Casting shadows 
    D 
Interrupted 

 C 
You wait 
        Em 
I wait 
Em         D 
Casting shadows 
    D 
Interrupted 

 C 
You wait 
        Em 
I wait 
Em         D 
Casting shadows 

     Em      C  D
