Intro: G

G                          C
Staring up into the solar system,

C                                 G
All the stars are fixed up in the sky.

G                             C
I just want to sparkle for a moment

C                            G
Before I just fizzle out and die.



C
I'm happy because I'm stupid.

          Dsus2
Scared of spiders, scared of flying.

C
If I wasn't so happy,

           D
I wouldn't be so scared of dying.


G
So just be gentle with me

 G           Gsus4      G

G
And I'll be gentle with you

 G          Gsus4        C
(I'm not as brave as I thought)

       D                       C
'Cause my heart gets broken so easily.

           Am                    Dsus2
So just be gentle, be gentle with me.



G                          C
Wide awake, waiting like a target

C                             G
Listening for things I cannot see.

G                             C
Insects flutter up against my window.

C                                 G
I don't like the way they look at me


C
I guess I've always needed

      Dsus2
To be needed by someone.

     C
It's such a comforting feeling

      D
Being under someone's thumb.



G
So just be gentle with me

G         Gsus4   G

(I never mean to be mean)

D                                      C
'Cause I want to pick peaches off of a cherry tree.

When I want to so I never do
