Take it Easy (Love Nothing)
By Bright Eyes
[Verse 1]
C
First with your hands, then with your mouth.
F
A downpour of sweat, damp cotton clouds.
G F C
I was a fool, you were my friend. we made it happen
[Verse 2]
C
You took off your clothes, left on the light.
F
You stood there so brave, you use to be shy.
G F
Each feature improved, each movement refined,
C
and eyes like a show room.
[Chorus]
G F C
now they're spreading out the blankets on the beach.
G F Am G F
that weather man's a liar, he said it'd be raining.
G C
but it's clear and blue as far as i can see.
[Verse 3]
C
Left by the lamp, right next to the bed.
F
on a cartoon cat pad, she scrached with a pen.
G F
"Everything is as its always been, this never happened.
C
Don't take it too bad, it's nothing you did.
C
Just once something dies, you can't make it live.
F
You're a beautiful boy, you're a sweet little kid,
G F
but I am a women".
C
So I layed back down, wrapped my self up in the sheet.
C
And I must have looked like a ghost, because something frightened me.
F
And since then I've been so good at vanishing.
[Verse 4]
C
Now I do as I please, and I lie through my teeth.
F
Someone might get hurt, but it wont be me.
G F
She'll probably feel cheap, but I'll just feel free,
C
And a little bit empty.
C
No, it isn't so hard, to get close to me.
F
There'll be no arguements, we will always agree.
G F
And I'll try and be kind, when I ask you to leave.
C
We'll both take it easy.
[Verse 5]
C
If you stay to long, inside my memory.
F
I will trap you in a song tied to a melody.
G F
And I'll keep you there so you can't bother me.
