Love In A Vacuum

There was a time
you opened up every doorway
you didn't mind if everything
wasn't your way
Don't pull away
that goes against what you told me
I look in your eyes
I realize what you've sold me

is love in a vacuum
Love in a vacuum

I think you've changed
but you insist that
that's not true
You look so strange, so distant

D D4 D D5 C Am
Tell me again you only want what's good for me
D D4 D D5 C Am
tell me again you're gonna make me happy
D D4 D D5 C Am
tell me again I have promises to keep
D D4 D D5 C Am
tell me again- I might stop crying in my sleep

Em
maybe Monday he'll call

** Verse 1:
F#m C#m F#m C#m (etc.)
There is no love here (there is no love)
Only some sort of blackmail

probably only comes down
to male and female

No more crying

over you

No more crying

Verse 1:
Bb C G
In the dark, I like to read his mind
Bb C G
but I'm frightened of the things I might find
Bb F
Oh, there must be something he's thinking of
G
to tear him away
Bb F
when I tell him that I'm falling in love
G

You fight just for the sake of it
You know what hurts the most
You might have once been faking it
but now it cuts too close

Em F#m Bm
Winning the war
Em F#m Bm
and losing every battle
Em F#m Bm
you close the door
Em F#m Bm
on happy ever after

We should have stopped it long ago
when there was love still
but we would give in to ego
and never stop until

(It's in F#)

Here I go again
making promises
if I tell you no
it still sounds like yes

You know the rest
do I have to say it?

Am I in too deep?
Can I still confess?
-when you trusted me
that was just a guess

I guess
you know the rest
you know the rest
do I have to say it?

Well, I warned you once
but without success
and I just escape
with my heart
a mess

*** Verse 1:
Dm Bb C
There was a lesson I never learned
Dm Bb C
Oh, I wouldn't be warned

to read your mind oh, on your face?

*** Chorus:
Bb F C
Are you serious? Did you think I'd fall in love?
Bb F C

Dm C Bb :|| (4x)

*** Verse 1:
Dm C Bb Gm
I guess you gave as good as you got
Dm C Bb Gm
I guess this love is dead at last
Dm C Bb Gm
But I paid such a lot
Dm C Bb Gm
the price you pay for living under glass

*** Chorus:
Dm F Bb
So don't just kiss me goodbye

I Could Get Used To This

So far-
or should I take it just a little farther
So good-
and if I think about it, it gets better
I could get used to this
I could get used to this
I could get used to
feeling the way that I do
So long-
or should I stay just a little longer
So much
for keeping it a secret

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one

"No" is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
Because one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know

It's just no good anymore since you went away

You see me as a judge
though I deny it
and hold me like a grudge
then justify it
But when you make such claims
in searching for something that explains
please take a good look at our remains

'Cause if you were everything you say
things would be different today
and maybe there's room for compromise
but signs that I get say otherwise
say anything, 'cause I've heard everything

He's a serious mister
Shake his hand and he'll twist your arm
With Monopoly money
We'll be buying the funny farm
So I'll do flips
And get paid in chips
From a diamond as big as the Ritz
Then I'm calling it quits
Calling it quits

Eyes the color of candy
Lies to cover the handicap
And though your slippers are ruby
You'll be led to the booby trap
Well, there's no prize
Just a smaller size

Is that you?
Looks like you've changed your ways again
Is that you now?
It's funny how I can't remember
Well, I knew you better than that
At least I thought I knew you then
But what I know now
It's not always a happy ending

Hey, here comes that rainy day again
But hey, look at me, I don't feel like cryin
Hey, here comes that rainy day again

It's not what you thought
when you first began it
You got, what you want
now you can hardly stand it though
well now you know

It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
Til you wise up

You're sure, there's a cure
and you have finally found it
You think, one drink
will shrink you to your underground
and living down

It's not going to stop

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone’s hard earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving on our way back home
We’re on our way back home
We’re on our way home
We’re going home

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters on my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches on our way back home
We’re on our way home

To want something so bad

Today's the Fourth of July
Another June has gone by
And when they light up our town I just think
What a waste of gun powder and sky

I'm certain I am alone
In harboring thoughts of our home
It's one of my faults that I can't quell my past
I ought to have gotten it gone
Ought to have gotten it...

Oh baby, I wonder if when you are older
Someday
