verse 1 
Em         G           A          Em 
Beating my drum in the fading hour,  
          G               A            Em 
biting my tongue, but the blood is sour,  
           G    A Em      G                           
pulling up most of the foxgloves 
         Em            A        Em 
from the ground, ready to devour.  

verse 2 
Em       G        A        Em 
If I had seen any other way,  
          G        A        Em 
if it had been any other day,  
           G   A Em      G 
would I be rowdy and shouting 
      Em             A        Em 
to be heard from the alleyway?  
      Em             A       Em 
To be heard from the alleyway 

A                           E 
Too long at the head of the table,  
A                G 
too unseen, like light in a dream,  
A                    G 
blue mind weary, but able 
A                    Em 
blue mind weary, but able 

verse 3 
Em         G                A       Em 
Everything splayed, getting cut out,  
           G              A         Em 
just to be staged for the photograph,  
           G   A   Em       G 
just to be one day sung and played 
        Em          A        Em 
for the length of a paragraph  
        Em          A        Em 
For the length of a paragraph 

A                 E 
Too long swinging around (words?) 
A                G 
too unseen, like light in a dream,  
A                    G 
blue mind weary, but able  
A                    Em 
blue mind weary, but able

Beating my drum in the fading hour,  
          G               A        Em

           G    A  Em      G 
pulling up most of the foxgloves 
         Em            A        Em 
from the ground, ready to devour  
         Em            A        E 
From the ground, ready to devour.
