The Cowardly Lion Doesnt Write Love Songs

INTRO:
NONE

                  C
it's turning on MTV
               G
when we were fourteen
                      F
you said, "my moms asleep,
               C
we won't get caught.
                      G
what do you want to watch?"

                       C
and i could hear the traffic
                      G
that i know you're ignoring
              F
but i let it into my life
     C                G
to thicken to air i breathe


VERSE:
               C
it was at the bus stop that a woman cried
             G
and i could tell she was different by the look in her eyes
              F
and i don't know what she said
       C                          G
but i felt what she meant in her honesty

                    C
and i went to your house that night
                          G
and i told you about the woman's eyes

and the words in her mouth
           F                    C              G
and how i wouldn't mind taking her advice one day

                      C   G  F  G
but i'm the cowardly lion


VERSE:
            C
i'll leave quietly
          G
if that means
           F               C
a better chance to commemorate what we had
              G
when we were happy


BDA K:
              C
this isn't a love song, no not in the least
        G
i just miss you watching my tv
           F
when i'm writing,
                    G
so i can hear you laughing

                        C
i swear to god i still hear you

when i close my eyes
           G
and you'd tell me

i'm not going to die
         F
like you used to
          G
before i did this


CHORUS:
            C
you're the sunlight

that i wished would leave
         G
i'm the raincloud

i don't wanna be
             F
because the more you're gone
                 G
the more i grow pale
        C   G  F  G
i grow pale


CHORUS:
            C
you're the sunlight

that i wished would leave
         G
i'm the raincloud

i don't wanna be
             F
because the more you're gone
                 G
the more i grow pale
        C
i grow pale
