Introducción:  C   Em   D  

           C                     Em 
You wait for a silence
       G                   D 
I wait for a word
               C                       Em 
Lying next to your frame
   G             D 
Girl unobserved
             C                     Em 
You change your position
                     G         D 
You're changing me
       C                       Em 
Casting these shadows
               D                         G 
Where they shouldn't be
 C                     Em 
We're interrupted
                 G                   D 
By the heat of the sun
 C                     Em 
Trying to prevent
                   G             D 
What's already begun
 C                           Em 
You're just a body
                 G               D 
I can smell your skin
           C                   Em 
And when I feel it
                   D           G 
You're wearing thin
           Em           C   D 
But I've got a plan
                       C                     G 
Why don't you be the artist
           Em                         D 
And make me out of clay?
                       C                     Em 
Why don't you be the writer
     G                               D 
Decide the words I say?
                         Em         G 
Cause I'd rather pretend
                         D                             C 
I'll still be there at the end
                       C                     Em 
Only it's too hard to ask
                       D                   G 
Won't you try to help me?
 C                     Em 
Sat on your sofa
           G                       D 
It's all broken springs
               C                     Em 
This isn't the place for
                 G               D 
Those violin strings
       C                     Em 
I try out a smile
             G                 D 
And I aim it at you
           C                     Em 
You must have missed it
               D       G 
You always do
           Em           C   D 
But I've got a plan
                       C                     G 
Why don't you be the artist
           Em                         D 
And make me out of clay?
                       C                     Em 
Why don't you be the writer
     G                               D 
Decide the words I say?
                         Em         G 
Cause I'd rather pretend
                         D                             C 
I'll still be there at the end
                       C                     Em 
Only it's too hard to ask
                       D                   G 
Won't you try to help me?
   C 
You wait
                 Em 
I wait
 Em                 D 
Casting shadows
         D 
Interrupted
   C 
You wait
                 Em 
I wait
 Em                 D 
Casting shadows
         D 
Interrupted
   C 
You wait
                 Em 
I wait
 Em                 D 
Casting shadows
         D 
Interrupted
   C 
You wait
                 Em 
I wait
 Em                 D 
Casting shadows
           Em           C   D

One strum or pick
                     C                     G 
Why don't you be the artist
           Em                         D 
And make me out of clay?
