CAPO 1

Dm               C
Washington’s on the one
Am
I’m in the middle of speaking
           G
And you’re under the gun
Dm                       C
Seething, leave it to the lone nut
Dm                       C
It’s unappealing in someone so young

Dm                     C
Plaintiff, you’re feeling so washed up
          Am                      G
And you mean it when you say you’re done
             Dm
Five lanes of freeway
        C
But it’s all gone dark
Dm                          C
You called to say you’re gonna run

C              F
Well, Can you wait?
C         F
Can you stand it?
C       F
Are you brave or are you
C  F
        scared straight,
C  F
        scared straight?

She didn’t want you to:
Dm           C  
Speak right,
Am            G
be strong,
Dm           C
act nice,
Dm           C
take so long

She didn’t want you to:
Dm           C
Call time,
Am            G
seem tired,
Dm           C
leave mad,
Dm           C
get so wired

C              F
Well, Can you wait?
C         F
Can you stand it?
C       F
Are you brave or are you
C  F
        scared straight,
C  F
        scared straight?

C
Maybe you belong to someone
F
Maybe you have finally met them
C
Maybe smoke belongs in the sky
F
Maybe I hate it when you cry

C              F
Well, Can you wait?
C         F
Can you stand it?
C       F
Are you brave or are you
C  F
        scared straight,
C  F
        scared straight?

Dm                     C
You were hurt so you got hard
        Am                       G
You were cursed and scolded and scarred
       Dm                     C
You were searched for, then ignored
            Dm
You want to burn the liars
                       C
You’ll set us both on fire

Dm                     C
You’re faking, so I’m pretend sleeping
Am                     G
Waiting for this to be fun
          Dm                   C
It’s true little miss mean mini-bar guard
         Dm                     C
We’re gonna have to try something new


Dm              C
               Let me breathe
Dm              C
               Let me breathe
Dm              C
               Let me breathe
           Dm            C         Am   G
Let me breathe fire down on you
           Dm            C
Let me breathe fire down on you
