Intro: Em (4x)
Em D
Bite chunks out of me
Em D
You're a shark and I'm swimming
Em D
My heart still thumps as I bleed
Em D
And all your friends come sniffing.
Em G A
Triangles are my favorite shape
Em G A
Three points where two lines meet.
Em G A
Toe to toe, back to back, let's go
Em G A
My love it's very late.
Em A
'Til morning comes, let's tessellate.
Em
Go alone my flower
D
And keep my whole lovely you.
Em
Wild green stones alone my lover
D
And keep us on my heart.
Em D
Three guns and one goes off
Em D
One's empty, one's not quick enough
Em D
One burn, one red, one grin
Em D
Search the graves while the camera spins
Em D
Chunks of you will sink down to seals
Em D
Blubber rich in mourning
Em D
They'll nosh you up, yes they'll nosh the love away
Em D
But it's fair to say, You will still haunt me.
Em G A
Triangles are my favorite shape
Em G A
Three points where two lines meet.
Em G A
Toe to toe, back to back, let's go
Em G A
My love it's very late.
Em
'Til morning comes, let's tessellate.
