Stairs

Fm

            C#5
So you just stand there
       G#5
With a dollar at your feet
        F#5
And you wait as I retreat
          G#5
To go get mine
           C#5
And when I get back
             G#5
You're still waiting silently
         F#5
Cause my mother's fast asleep
          G#5
Right next door

          G#5                         C#5
Yeah, I'm 26 and I still live with my parents
               G#5
Oh, I can't do laundry
                   F#5
Christ, I can't do dishes
                 G#5
What'll I do without you
               C#5
When your body fails you
            G#5
When nobody loves you
               F#5
All they do is miss you
                    G#5
But they don't even care

      G#                       C#
So be careful when you run downstairs
                   G#
Be careful who you talk to
                         F#
Or the wonderful way you walk
                              G#
You are like a magnet for all evil

            C#5
So you just stand there
       G#5
With a dollar at your feet
        F#5
And you wait as I retreat
          G#5
To go get mine
           C#5
And when I get back
           G#5
You're too terrified to speak
        F#5
And my brother's such a creep
     G#5
Even more

         G#                        C#
Yeah, be careful when you run downstairs
                   G#
Be careful who you talk to
                         F#
Or the wonderful way you walk
                              G#
You are like a magnet for all evil
                            C#
Cause there's so much good inside you
                         G#
And I wish that I could hide you
                        F#
Some place no one could hurt you
                    G#
Where nobody could change you

                    C#5
I'll lock you in my room
                        G#5
And I'll tie you to the sheets
                                  C#5
Cause I could watch you sleep for weeks
                           G#5
Oh, the things you'd never see
                 F#
If it were up to me

F#   G#   A#m   G#
F#   G#   A#m   G#

               F#
Oh, I can't do laundry
                   G#
Christ, I can't do dishes
                 F#
What'll I do without you

G#
