[Verse 1]
Dm
Falling through pages of Martens on angels
Bb
Feeling my heart pull west
Dm
I saw the future dressed as a stranger
Bb
Love in a space-dye vest
Dm
Love is an act of blood and I'm bleeding
Bb
A pool in the shape of a heart
Dm
Beauty projection in the reflection
Bb
Always the worst way to start
[Breakdown 1]
Dm C Dm
"But he's the sort who can't know anyone intimately, least of all a woman. He doesn't know what a woman is.
C
He wants you for a possession, something to look at like a painting or an ivory box.
Dm/A C
Something to own and to display. He doesn't want you to be real, or to think, or to live.
He doesn't love you, but I love you.
Dm/A Gm
I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and feelings, even when I hold you in my arms.
F C/E
It's our last chance..."
[Verse 2]
Dm
Now that you're gone I'm trying to take it
Bb
Learning to swallow the rage
Dm
Found a new girl I think we can make it
Bb
As long as she stays on the page
Dm Bb Gm
This is not how I want it to end
Dm Bb
And I'll never be open again
[Breakdown 2]
Dm C
"...I was gonna move out...ummm...get, get a job, get my own place, ummm.
Dm C
But...I go into the mall where I want to work and they tell me, I'm, I was too young..."
Dm/A
"Some people gave advice before about facing the facts, about facing reality.
C
And this is, this without a doubt, is his biggest challenge ever. He's going to have to face it.
Dm/A
I mean no one can say they know how he feels."
Gm
"That, so they say that, in ya know like, Houston or something, you'd say it's a hundred and eighty degrees.
F C/E Dm
But it's a dry heat. In Houston they say that? Oh, maybe not. I'm all mixed up.
C
Dry until they hit the swimming pool."
Dm C
Bb
"I don't care what you do. I don't care when.
C
That door gets locked. That door gets locked at night by nine o'clock.
Bb
If you're not in this house by nine o'clock, then you'd better find some place to sleep.
C Gm C
Because you're not going to be a bum in this house. Supper is ready..."
[Bridge]
Dm
There's no one to take my blame
Bb Gm
If they wanted to
Dm
There's nothing to keep me sane
Bb Gm
And it's all the same to you
Dm
There's nowhere to set my aim
Bb Gm
So I'm everywhere
Dm
Never come near me again
Bb Gm
Do you really think I need you?
Dm
I'll never be open again
Bb Gm
I could never be open again
Dm
I'll never be open again
Bb Gm
I could never be open again
[Outro]
Dm F Bb Gm
And I'll smile and I'll learn to pretend
Dm F Bb Gm
And I'll never be open again
Dm F Bb Gm
And I'll have no more dreams to defend
Dm F Bb Gm
And I'll never be open again
