Two Against Three

[Intro]
D Em7 Dsus4 D G
 
[Verse 1]
    D              Em7 Dsus4 D
The days were wide open
                       Em
At the heart of all my joy
C                     Em
Boys were invincible lovers
     C               Em G
Just begging to be destroyed
        D         Em7  Dsus4 D
They're up in the morning
                            Em
Regretfully sobbing and gone
   C                           Em
I’m bathed and going back to bed
         C                   Em G
This was never any cause for alarm
 
[Chorus]
       D
Mm, it seems you have a choice to make
    A7sus4
The shell is white and yours to break
  A7sus4
Either way, it's just as well
                             Em         G
All I need's a promise I can keep to myself
 
D Em7 Dsus4 D G
 
[Verse 2]
     D                Em7   Dsus4 D
They leave with their lovers
  C                     Em
Oh, talk aloud in their sleep
C                 Em
Driftin’ off into dreaming
C                      Em      G
Never as quiet as they seem to be
  D          Em7     Dsus4 D
I know those mornings
       C                    Em
Are as good as it ever can be
C                         Em
Feelin' our hearts are beatin'
C                      Em G
Tenderly, two against three
 
[Chorus]
   D
It seems you have a choice to make
    A7sus4
The shell is white and yours to break
  A7sus4
Either way, it's just as well
                             Em7     G
All I need's a promise I can keep to myself
 
D Em7 Dsus4 D Em C Em G
 
[Outro]
    D       Em7     Dsus4 D
I'm nowhere near you
D                           Em
Nowhere near where I should be
C                      Em
Feelin' our hearts are beatin'
C                     Em7  G
Tenderly, two against three
