Turn On Me by The Shins




              Turn On Me 






Turn On Me
C 
You can fake it for a while,

Bite your tongue and smile,
				G
Like every mother does an ugly child.
			C
But the stars are leaking out,

Like spittle from a cloud,
				G
Amassed resentment counting ounce and pound.

			F
You're entertaining any doubt,
			C		G
Because you had to know that I was fond of you,
C		F
Fond of Y-O-U,
			C		G
Though I knew you masked your disdain.
F		C			G
I can see that change was just too hard for us,
C		F
Hard for us.

You always had to hold the reigns,
			F F F F F F F F		G
But where I'm headed, you just don't know the way.

C
So affections fade away,

And do adults just learn to play
				G
The most ridiculous, repulsive games?
			C
On the faith of ruddy sons,

And the double-barreled guns,

You better hurry,
	G
Rabbit, run, run, run.
			C
'Cause meeting you was fun,
						G
And there's a lot of hungry howlers in this one cell.

We’re taking it over,
			C
Their brittle, thorny stems,

They break before they bend,
				G
And neither one of us is one of them.

			F
And the tails will never mend,
		C		G
‘Cause you had it in for me so long ago.
C		F
Boy, I still don't know,
		C		G
I don't know why and I don't care,
		C		F
You don't hide me anymore,
		C		G
If you'd only seen yourself hating me.
C		F
Hating me,
		C		G
When I've been so much more than fair.
			F F F F F F F F	G
But then you had to lay those feelings bare,
			F F F F F F F F	G	
One thing I know still got you scared,
	F		G
You're all that cold iron,
	F	C		G
And never once aired of our dead.

You had to know that I was fond of you,

Fond of Y-O-U.

So I took your lips at the time,

AHHHHHHHHHH

And to change like that is just so hard to do,

Hard to do.

Don't let it whip-crack your life,

Lyrics
You can fake it for a while,
Bite your tongue and smile,
Like every mother does an ugly child.
But it starts to leak on out,
Like spittle from a cloud,
Amassed resentment pelting ounce and pound.

You entertaining any doubts,
‘Cause you had to know that I was fond of you, fond of Y-O-U.
Though I knew you masked your disdain, dah dah dah dah dah.
I can see that change was just too hard for us, hard for us.
You always had to hold the reigns,
But where I'm headed, you just don't know the way.

So affections fade away,
Or do adults just learn to play
The most ridiculous, repulsive games?
All our favorite of ruddy sons
And their double-barreled guns,
You better hurry, rabbit, run, run, run.
'Cause meeting you was fun,
And there's a lot of hungry hatters
In this world set on taking it over,
But brittle, thorny stems,
They break before they bend,
And neither one of us is one of them.

And the tears will never mend,
'Cause you had it in for me so long ago. Boy, I still don't know.
I don't know why and I don't care... well hardly anymore.
If you'd only seen yourself hating me, hating me.
When I'd been so much more than fair.
But then you had to lay those feelings bare,
One thing I know still got you scared,
You're all that cold ire, and never once aired on a dare.

You had to know that I was fond of you, fond of Y-O-U.
So I took your licks at the time, dah dah dah dah dah.
And to change like that is just so hard to do, hard to do.
Don't let it whip-crack your life,
And bow out from the fight,
Those old pious sisters were right
The worst part is over, now get back on that horse and ride.
