Verse 1
C          E7      Am7               F
 I was the belle of   the Governor's Ball
G              E7      Am7               F
 Hiding in the bathroom   like Shelley Duvall
C          E7       Am7               F
 You had a nosebleed,  you were in my way
   G             E7     Am7      F
And you didn't remind me   of anything


Chorus
D7    C             F           D7         F
  So, let's see how long we can go without touching
Am7           G          F
Why don't you sing me to sleep?
       C           F        D7          F
I know you'd never actually think about jumping
Am7    G         C   E7 Am7 F
   But do it for me


Instrumental
C E7 Am7 F


Verse 2
C              E7        Am7        F
 Two kids in a trenchcoat   living alone
G         E7         Am7     F
 I was too  happy to feel at home
C           E7          Am7            F
 Dancing ourselves clean   late New Year's Eve
C             E7    Am7           F
 You deserved better,  you wanted me


Chorus
   C             F           D7         F
So let's see how long we can go without talking
Am7            G          F
Watching me pretending to sleep
C           F    D7             F
I'm next to you, you're next to nothing
    Am7           G           F
You promised that you'd never leave
    G#           G7        Cm
But maybe you'll do it for me


Bridge
Bb Eb G#   Cm Bb Eb G
Ooh,  ooh, ooh,  ooh

Now


Chorus
C             F         D7          F
Let's see how far I can run without stopping
    Am7        G      F
And she can pretend to be me
      C           F           D7          F
Since she took my place in my bed on that stage
Am7        G        F
I have not lost any sleep
Am7      G          D F  Am7     G      F
Being myself wasn't easy,   do it for me
