Poke — Frightened Rabbit
Chords and lyrics for Poke by Frightened Rabbit (key of D).
Verse 1
[D]Poke at my iris
[Em]Why can't I cry about this?
[G]Maybe there is [D]something that you[Em] know that I don't
[D]We adopt brand new language
[Em]Communicate through pursed lips
[G]And you try not to [D]put on any [Em]sexy clothes or graces
[D]I might never catch a mouse
[Em]And present it in my mouth
[G]To make you feel you're [D]with someone
who [Em]deserves to be with you
[D]But there's one thing we've got going
And it's the [Em]only thing worth knowing
[G]It's got lots to do with [D]magnets and
the [Em]pull of the moon
[D]Why won't our love keel over as it
[Em]chokes on a bone?
And [G]we can mourn its passing[D]
And then [Em]bury it in snow
[D]Or should we kick its cunt in
[Em]And watch as it dies from bleeding?
[G]If you don't want to [D]be with me just
[Em] say and I will go
Hook
Oooh
Verse 2
[D]Well we can change our partners
[Em]This is a progressive dance but
[G]Remember it was [D]me who dragged you up
[Em] to the sweaty floor
[D]Well this has been a reel
[Em]I've got shin-splints and a stitch
from weed
[G]But like a drunken [D]night it's the best
[Em] bits that are coloured in
[D]You should look through some old photos
I[Em] adored you in every one of those
[G]If someone took a [D]picture of us now[Em]
they'd need to be told
[D]That we had ever clung and tied
A[Em] navy knot with arms at night
[G]I'd say she was his [D]sister but she
[Em] doesn't have his nose
[D]And now we're unrelated and [Em]rid of all the shit we hated
[G]But I hate when I [D]feel like this
[Em]And I never hated you
Hook
Oooh
