Key of C Major


C/G G Am F G (x2)

C/G

Verse 1:

C/G G
this voice only speaks when it's poisoned.
Am
only finds out in the morning,
F G
it's just a pale little light.
C/G G
you leave with the lovely and the lessened,
Am
only stays when you let them,
F G C/G
only knows what you like.

C/G

Verse 2:

C/G G
'don't go', says the cold arms to the floorboards,
Am
i need ya just a bit more,
F G
i can't tell you why.

C/G G
so still, the joyful barely moving.
Am
who thought we'd ever choose this.
F G C/G
can't say we never tried


C/G

Bridge:
Dm
that's when your legs broke free
F
the cacophony,
G Am F
of sawtooth waves and linen sheets,

Dm
a winter's remedy,
F
straight lines gone circling,
G Am G
i was a boy, you kept me clean

F G
attack and release,
F G
come now my chemical relief,
F G C/G
i was your boy, you kept me clean,

C/G
