Intro: Eb, Gm, Eb, Gm, Bb
Verse 1:
Dm Eb Bb
There's a hunger in the air, a lemon swollen in the trees
Dm Eb Cm Gm Eb C F
But shadows fall across the moon, I strain my ears towards the breeze
Dm Eb Bb
I wasted summer listening, secluded as a cemetery
Dm Eb Gm Cm Bb C
Withered limbs under the sand, for an hourglass eternity

You are an albatross around my neck
Bb Gm
When you needed to knock me on the head and say
