              Intro: A7+
 
A7+                        D7+
What's it been over a decade?
A7+                  D7+                  D  F  E
It still smarts like it was four minutes ago
A7+                                 D7+
We only influenced each other totally
A7+                                 D7+ 
We only bruised each other even more so
 
D7+                   Dm                                A7+
What are you my blood? You touch me like you are my blood
D7+              Dm                                A7+
What are you my dad? You affect me like you are my dad
 
 
A7+    C         D               A7+
How long can a girl be shackled to you
A7+    C             G           A7+
How long before my dignity is reclaimed
A7+    C         D                 A7+
How long can a girl stay haunted by you
C               D                  A7+
Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name
C               D                  A7+
Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name 
 
(*o resto da música segue com os mesmos acordes)
 
Where've you been? I heard you moved to my city
My brother saw you somewhere downtown
I'd be paralyzed if I ran into you
My tongue would seize up if we were to meet again
 
What are you my god? You touch me like you are my god
What are you my twin? You affect me like you are my twin
 
REFRÃO
 
So here I am one room away from where I know you're standing
A well-intentioned man told me you just walked in
This man knows not of how this information has affected me
But he knows the colour of the car I just drove away in
 
What are you my kin? You touch me like you are my kin
What are you my air? You affect me like you are my air
 
REFRÃO
