Intro: Am G6 C Fmaj7 Am  G6 Fmaj7 Am G6 C 


Fmaj7                             Am 
Don't you cherish me to sleep - aaaaah 

Fmaj7 
Never keep your eyelids clipped 

C                         G6 
Hold me for the pops and clicks 

      Fmaj7                       C 
I was only for the father's crib 


Am        G6       C 
Hair, old, long along 

Fmaj7                                  C 
Your neck onto your shoulder blades - aaaaah 

Fmaj7          
Always keep that message taped 

C                             G6 
Cross your breasts you won't erase 

     Fmaj7                      C 
I was only for your very space 


Am         G6     C 
Hip, under nothing 

Fmaj7                                C 
Propped up by your other one, face 'way from the sun 

Fmaj7 
Just have to keep a dialogue 

C                            G6 
Teach our bodies: haunt the cause 

     Fmaj7                         C 
I was only trying to spell a loss 


Am         G6       C  
Joy, it's all founded 

Fmaj7                           C 
Pincher with the skin inside - aaaah 

Fmaj7 
You pinned me with your black sphere eyes 

     C                        G6 
You know that all the rope's untied 

      Fmaj7                   C 
I was only for to die beside 


          C             Fmaj7            
So itʼs storming on the lake 

        G6               C 
Little waves our bodies break 


           C         Fmaj7 
There's a fire going out, 

                     G6            C 
But there's really nothing to the south 


        Em          Fmaj7 
Swollen orange and light let through 

     G6                           ...(fade out G6) 
Your one piece swimmer stuck to you 


Am       G6   C 
Sold, I'm Ever 

Fmaj7                       C 
Open ears and open eyes - aaaaah 

Fmaj7 
Wake up to your starboard bride 

     C                      G6 
Who goes in and then stays inside 

       Fmaj7                  ...(fade out Fmaj7)    
Oh the demons come, they can subside
