G#mI'm jealous of your nD#meck
That Anarrow porcelain C#mplinth of flesh

The Acold tile cavern C#mbathed in dark
And earthy G#mroots hanging from wD#mithin
To Ashed some light the C#mfire must get G#in

The bEurning F#sun I'm G#mwest

A Aportion of myC#mself was lost to G#me
[Chorus]
But I'm not G#maj7dead
Just a Eharbour F#no one's G#min
An Eempty F#salt filled G#mskin

[Verse 1]

G#m D#m

I'm jealous of your neck

A C#m

That narrow porcelain plinth of flesh

G#m D#m

It gets to hold your head

A C#m G#

And I'd rather perform the task instead

G#maj7

I'll use my hands

[Verse 2]

G#m D#m

You told me of your heart

A C#m

The cold tile cavern bathed in dark

G#m D#m

And earthy roots hanging from within

A C#m G#

To shed some light the fire must get in

[Chorus]

G#maj7

A searing pulse

E F# G#m

I'm a fever in your chest

E F# G#m

The burning sun I'm west

[Verse 3]

G#m D#m

I, I am too naive

A C#m G#m

Your lunar strands were lit in red and green

D#m

A captivating scene

A C#m G#

A portion of myself was lost to me

[Chorus]

G#maj7

But I'm not dead

E F# G#m

Just a harbour no one's in

E F# G#m

An empty salt filled skin
