[Bm]Please, curtains [D/A]in.
Start us [G]off... [D/A]You swing first.[Asus4] [A]
[Bm]Sorry, I don't know what I said,[D/A]
But you're crying now again,[G]
And that [D/A]only makes it worse.[Asus4] [A]

[D]Sylvia, get your head out of the [Bm]oven.
Go back to [Em]screaming and cursing,
Remind me again how everyone betrayed you.
[D]Sylvia, get your head out of the [F#m]covers.
Let me take your [Em]temperature,
You can throw the thermometer [G]right back at me,
If [A]that's what you want to do, okay?

Steady [G]out, I'm [D/A]terrified.[Asus4] [A]

But you swing on little knives.[G]
They're only [D/A]sharp on one side.[Asus4] [A]

{start_of_bridge: Outro}
[D]Sylvia, can't you see what you are [F#m]doing?
Can't you see I'm [Em]scared to speak,
And I hate my voice 'cause it only makes you angry.
[D]Sylvia, I only talk when you are [F#m]sleeping.
That's when I tell you [Em]everything,
And I imagine that some[G]how you're going to hear me.[A]
