[Verse 1]
Bm7
 Drowning in the Blue Nile
                      Gmaj7
 He sent me "Downtown Lights"
                        Bm7
 I hadn't heard it in a while
 
 My boredom was bone deep
                          Gmaj7
 This cage was once just fine
 
 Am I allowed to cry?
 Bm7
 I dream of cracking locks
                         Gmaj7
 Throwing my life to the wolves
                                        Bm7
 Or the ocean rocks crashing into him tonight
 
 He's a paradox, I'm seeing visions,
      Gmaj7
 Am I bad or mad or wise?
 
 
 
[Chorus]
              Dmaj7                      A
 What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh
            Gmaj7
 Only in my mind?
                      Dmaj7
 One slip and falling back into the hedge maze
A                   Gmaj7
 Oh, what a way to die
                                  A
 I keep recalling things we never did
               Dmaj7
 Messy top lip kiss, how I long for our trysts
              Gmaj7
 Without ever touching his skin
         A N.C.         Bm7
 How can I be guilty as sin
 
 
[Verse 2]
                       Gmaj7
 I keep these longings locked
                       Bm7
 In lowercase inside a vault
                                               Gmaj7
 Someone told me there's no such things as bad thoughts
 
 Only your actions talk
 Bm7
 These fatal fantasies
                        Gmaj7
 Giving way to labored breath, taking all of me
                             Bm7
 We've already done it in my head
                                               Gmaj7
 If it's make believe, why does it feel like a vow we'll both uphold somehow?
 
 
[Chorus]
              Dmaj7                      A
 What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh
            Gmaj7
 Only in my mind?
                      Dmaj7
 One slip and falling back into the hedge maze
A                   Gmaj7
 Oh, what a way to die
                                            A
 My bedsheets are ablaze, I've screamed his name
                  Dmaj7
 Building up like waves crashing over my grave
              Gmaj7
 Without ever touching his skin
         N.C.           Dmaj7
 How can I be guilty as sin
 
 
[Bridge]
         A                     Gmaj7
 What if I roll the stone away?
                                 Dmaj7
 They're gonna crucify me anyway
                     A
 What if the way you hold me
                    Gmaj7 N.C.
 Is actually what's holy?
                      Gmaj7                A
 If long-suffering propiety is what they want from me
            Dmaj7                         Bm7
 They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly
          Gmaj7         A         N.C.
 I choose you and me, religiously
 
 
[Chorus]
N.C.
 What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh
            Gmaj7
 Only in my mind?
                      Dmaj7
 One slip and falling back into the hedge maze
A                   Gmaj7
 Oh, what a way to die
                                  A
 I keep recalling things we never did
               Dmaj7
 Messy top lip kiss, how I long for our trysts
              Gmaj7
 Without ever touching his skin
         A N.C.         Dmaj7
 How can I be guilty as sin
 
 
[Outro]
A                    Gmaj7
 He sent me Downtown Lights
                        Dmaj7 A Gmaj7
 I hadn't heard it in a while
A
 Am I allowed to cry?
