Am C Em
Sit back, no song is written
Am
It’s nothing you thought of yourself
Am C
It’s just a ghost, came unbidden
Em Am
To this house
F Em Am
This infection gets stronger every year
F Em Am
This seed in the water of your tear
C G F Em
There is no escaping it
Am C Em Am
This seed in the water of your tear
Am C Em
The way an unborn baby’s ear
Am
Unfolds in your belly
F Em Am
This infection gets stronger every year
F Em Am
This direction of a tear rolling down your cheek
C G F Em
And there is no escaping it
C G
There is no escaping
F
The thing that is making
It's home in your radio
Am C Em F G x2
Am
Bless this tiny alley
C
we have fallen from tall buildings
Em
we have fallen through the air
F G Am
Into a garden sweetly smelling of the softest
C
Sleeping flowers now they sit under the sidewalk
Em F G
Now they’re waiting for the shining of some future sun to show us
Am
All that is your beauty
C
Oh and all that brings you pleasure
Em
I could sigh into your hide
F G
And say I hope I’m here forever
Am
But Black Sheep Boy with your lovers
C
With your list of favorite pillows
Em
with your list of missing children
F G
With the wall where you drew windows
*Keep doing Am C Em F G til the end,
Overlooking hidden gardens
Cut apart by jagged mountains
Climbing up into the air
And crumbling down into a fountain
Where the water waits forever
Like a quiet distant treasure
When you rise up to recover
When you leave this tiny alley
When you meet me in the garden
With your horns all hung with cedar
Every spirit brushing past me
Brushing past them in the ether
Scream all this is window dressing
All you are is flimsy curtains
Watch you flame up with a word from us
G Am
And won’t know that you’re buuuuuuurning!
C Em F
Burning
G Am
Burning!
*same chords progression til the end
(There's no escaping
The thing that is making
It's home in your radio
There's no escaping
The thing that is making
It's home in your radio)
Ends on A Am.
