Special Two- Missy Higgins
Capo 2
Verse 1
Am G/B C
I've hardly been outside my room in days,
Am G/B C
'cause I don't feel that I deserve the sunshine's rays.
Am G/B C
The darkness helped until the whiskey wore away,
Am G/B C
It was then I realized the conscience never fades.
Am G/B C
When you're young you have this image of your life,
Am G/B C
that you'll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife.
Am G/B C
And you'll make boundaries you never dream to cross,
Am G/B C
and if you happen to you wake completely lost.
Chorus
F G
But I will fight for you,
Am G F Am G F G
be sure that I will fight until we're the special two once again.
Am G C F
And we will only need each other we'll bleed together, our hands will not be Am G
taught to hold another's,
Csus4 C
'Cause we're the special two.
Am G C F
And we could only see each other, we'll breathe together, these arms will
Am G
not be taught to need another's,
Csus4 C
'Cause we're the special two.

Verse 2
Am G/B C
I remember someone old once said to me,
Am G/B C
that 'lies will lock you up with truth the only key'.
Am G/B C
But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell,
Am G/B C
and couldn't see this place could soon become my hell.
Am G/B C
So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face?
Am G/B C
Well I guess the answer is don't do it in the first place.
Am G/B C
I know I’m not deserving of your trust from you right now,
Am G Csus4 C F
Oh, but if by chance you change your mind you know I will not let you down
Am Gm F G
'Cause we were the special two, and will be again.
Chorus
Am G C F
And we will only need each other we'll bleed together, our hands will not be
Am G
taught to hold another's,
Csus4 C
'Cause we're the special two.
Am G C F
And we could only see each other, we'll breathe together, these arms will
Am G
not be taught to need another's,
F G
'Cause we're the special two.
Bridge
Dm G Am
I step outside my minds eye's for a minute
Dm G Am
And I look over me like a doctor looking for disease or something
that could ease the pain.
Dm G
But nothing cures the hurt you,
E7 F
Bring on by yourself,
G C G
Just remembering, just remembering how we were
Chorus
F G
But I will fight for you,
Am G F Am G F G
be sure that I will fight until we're the special two once again.
Am G C F
And we will only need each other we'll bleed together, our hands will not be

taught to hold another's,

'Cause we're the special two.
Am G C F
And we could only see each other, we'll breathe together, these arms will
Am G
not be taught to need another's,

'Cause we're the special two.
