[Primera Parte]

 Bm
Drowning in the Blue Nile
                     G
He sent me Downtown Lights
                         Bm
I hadn't heard it in a while

My boredom was bone deep
                         G
This cage was once just fine

Am I allowed to cry?

Bm
   I dream of cracking locks
                         G
Throwing my life to the wolves
                   
Or the ocean rocks
                     Bm
Crashing into him tonight 

He's a paradox

I'm seeing visions
      G             D/F#
Am I bad or mad or wise?

[Estribillo]

  A            D
What if he's written "mine"
              A  
On my upper thigh 
            G
Only in my mind?
                       D
One slip, I'm falling back

Into the hedge maze 
A                    G
  Oh, what a way to die

                 
I keep recalling
                 A                          
Things we never did 
               D 
Messy top lip kiss
                     D/F#
How I long for our trysts
              G
Without ever touching his skin
        A               Bm
How can I be guilty as sin

[Segunda Parte]

                       G
I keep these longings locked
                       Bm
In lowercase inside a vault

Someone told me there's no such things 
         G
As bad thoughts

Only your actions talk

Bm
   These fatal fantasies
                         G
Giving way too labored breath

Taking all of me
                             Bm
We've already done it in my head
                     
If it's make believe
                         G
Why does it feel like a vow 
                   D/F#  
We'll both uphold somehow?

[Estribillo]

  A            D
What if he's written "mine"
              A  
On my upper thigh 
            G
Only in my mind?
                       D
One slip, I'm falling back

Into the hedge maze 
A                    G
  Oh, what a way to die

                 
My bedsheets are ablaze
                   A                          
I've screamed his name 
                  D 
Building up like waves
                   D/F#
Crashing over my grave
              G
Without ever touching his skin
        A               D
How can I be guilty as sin

[Puente]

        A                      D
What if I roll the stone away?
               
They're gonna crucify me anyway
                     A
What if the way you hold me
                    D
Is actually what's holy

                          
If long-suffering propiety is
           A
What they want from me 
             D
They don't know how you've 
                Bm
haunted me so stunningly
          G             A
I choose you and me, religously

[Estribillo]
            
What if he's written "mine"
               
On my upper thigh 
            G
Only in my mind?
                       D
One slip, I'm falling back

Into the hedge maze 
A                    G
  Oh, what a way to die

                 
I keep recalling
                 A                          
Things we never did 
               D 
Messy top lip kiss
                     D/F#
How I long for our trysts
              G
Without ever touching his skin
        A               D
How can I be guilty as sin

[Final]

A                      D
  He sent me downtown lies
A                          D
  I hadn't heard it in a while
A  G
     Am I allowed to cry?
