lyrics

Em G D Dvariations C
Keep your distance, I’ve got barbs I’m sharp and angled and…
Em G D Dvariations Am
My resistance is just a public service
Em G D Dvariations C
I want animal, I want fire but, I’ve been prey enough, fire just burns and
Em G D Dvariations
I’m not ready for, I’m not willing to, I’m not I’m not I’m not I’m not

Em C D Dvariations
You might pull me close when we walk, but you won’t touch me
Brush your hand on my shoulder when we talk, but you won’t touch me
I’m not far away, only out of reach where I plan to stay
Because I’m not ready for I’m not wiling to I’m not, I’m not you won’t touch me

Em G D Dvariations C
It’s not on purpose, we’re all born with natural reflexes
It’s recursive and it helps the fit survive Am
I want dominance I want providence, I want safe and I want confidence
I’m not ready for, I’m not willing to I’m not I’m not I’m not I’m not

Em C D Dvariations
You might pull me close when we walk, but you won’t touch me
Brush your hand on my shoulder when we talk, but you won’t touch me
I’m not far away, only out of reach where I plan to stay
Because I’m not ready for I’m not wiling to I’m not, I’m not you won’t touch me

C Am Em
Don’t go thinkin’ that just because I put pen to paper that you’re inspiring
C Am B
I’m not moved I’m a rock and island and also quite an impressive liar and…

Em C D D
You might pull me close when we walk, but you won’t touch me
Brush your hand on my shoulder when we talk, but you won’t touch me
I’m not far away, only out of reach where I plan to stay
Because I’m not ready for, I’m not wiling to I’m not, I’m not you won’t touch me
