  			HARRIET  

G Am Em 
C 

G               Am         Em 
through the hem of evening  
G               Am         Em 
into the flesh of the night  
G               Am         Em 
you step out to receive them  
              C 
in the bruising light  

G               Am         Em 
you leave your bed of novels  
G               Am         Em 
you leave your hovering crown 
G               Am         Em 
you leave your wit and your mettle  
          C 
and you come down  

D 

        C         Em     D 
but it's only a minute then  
        C         Em     D 
til the hole in the canvas spreads  
        C         Em                   G Am Em 
and it grows til there's nothing left  

G Am Em 
C 

G               Am         Em 
so if you even remember  
G               Am         Em 
me after all that will come  
G               Am         Em 
think of all i intended  
          C 
not what i've done  

G               Am         Em 
see me like an arrow  
G               Am         Em 
still upon the bow  
G               Am         Em 
set to the heart of the target  
                C 
hanging bright above  

D 

        C         Em     D 
but it's only a minute then  
        C         Em     D 
til the shot is released and sent  
        C         Em            G Am Em 
and lost to the shifting wind  

G Am D 

(key change!) 

D               G              Bm              A 
oh they don't know you, not like i do, not like us, harriet  
D               G              Bm              A 
but they would love you, just like i do, if they could, harriet  
D               G              Bm              A 
cause what you are, and what you want, are so far apart, and they're travelling on  
D               G              Bm              A 
oh what you are is staggering drunk, but i'll pick you up and i'll carry you off  

(key change!) 

E               A              C#m              B 
oh they don't know you, not like i know you, not like us, harriet  
E               A              C#m              B 
but they would love you, just like i love you, if they could, harriet
