[verse]
 
    Bm
I comb the crowd and pick you out
    G               Em              Bm
My mouth moves too fast for you to figure it out
 
It starts eyes closed to fingers crossed
    G     Em      Bm
"To I swear, I say"
    G     Em      Bm
"To I swear, I say"
 
[pre-chorus]
 
           G                        Em
To hands between legs, to "whatever it takes"
    Bm                       A
To drinks at the club to the bar
       F#             G
To the keys to your car
          Em                      Bm         A
To hotel stairs to the emergency exit door
 
[chorus]
 
        D                          Dmaj7
To the love, I left my conscience pressed
                          Bm
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
 D                           G               Bm
"What did it ever do for me" I say (I say, I say, I say)
          D                 G
It never calls me when I'm down
             Bm
Love never wanted me
 
But I took it anyway
D                    G
Put your ear to the speaker
                      Bm
And choose love or sympathy
            D
But never both
G            Bm
Love never wanted me
 
[verse]
 
   Bm
"I hoped you choked
 
And crashed your car"
G         Em                Bm
Hey "tear catcher", that's all that you are
Bm
and ever were
Bm
From the start
G   Em    Bm
I swear, I say
G   Em    Bm
I swear, I say
 
[pre-chorus]
 
           G                        Em
To hands between legs, to "whatever it takes"

To drinks at the club to the bar
       F#             G
To the keys to your car
          Em                      Bm         A
To hotel stairs to the emergency exit door

        D                          Dmaj7
To the "love" I left my conscience pressed
                                  G
Through the keyhole I watched you dress, kiss and tell
Gm
(Loose lips sink ships)
        Bm                         E7
To the "love" I left my conscience pressed

Through the keyhole I watched you dress, kiss and tell

To the "love" I left my conscience pressed

Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
