Julia Jacklin - Ignore Tenderness

Capo: 1st fret

[Verse 1]
C/G
I’ve been trying to
F/A
Be turned on by you
Em/B
Be turned on by myself
F/A
Or anything else
C/G
Been watching porn
F/A
Lights off, headphones on
Em/B
Right when pleasure begins
F/A
My education creeps in
C/G
I’ve been stripping right down
F
Staring at my own reflection
Em
Ever since I was 13
F
I’ve been pulled in every direction
C/G
Such a good student
F
Of all that conflicting advice
Em
Go put ice in your mouth
F
Let them slap you about
Em
Go on – choke yourself out

[Chorus]
G
But leave no room for doubt
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
That you are brave
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Beneath the sheets, you’re just a cave
Em7
A plastic bucket, or a gravе
Fmaj7
Who said “you’re not what you get
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C/G
You are what you gavе a-way”?

[Verse 2]
C/G
I’ve been thinking back
F/A
To when things went off track
Em/B
You know that’s not what I wanted
F/A
Is that why I feel haunted?
C/G
By something small
F
Strong enough to destroy it all
Em
If I don’t change soon
F
Will it forever eclipse the moon
C/G
That keeps me stable?
F
Away from all of that advice
Em
That put words in my mouth
F
All those drinks on the house
Em
Go on – just let it all out

[Chorus]
G
But leave no room for doubt
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
That you are brave
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
A little leaf catching a wave
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Strong but willing to be saved
Em7 Fmaj7
Ignore the tenderness you crave
Cmaj7
Be naughty but don’t misbehave
Fmaj7
Who said “you’re not what you get
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
You are what you gave a-way”?
