[Intro]
Am Em F C Dm Em Am
[Verse 1]
AmJust a little rush, babe
To feel dizzy, to Fderail the mind of me
AmJust a little hush, babe
Our veins are busy but my Fheart's in atrophy
DmAny Amway to disCtract and sedGate
DmAdding Amshadows to the wFalls of the Ccave
[Chorus]
AmYou and I nursiEmng on Fa poison that neveCr stDmung
Our teeth and lungs are lined Emwith the Amscum of it
AmSome whiff of this deaEmth and Fguts
We are Cdeaf, we are numDmb
Free and Emyoung and we can feel Amnone of it
[Verse 2]
AmSomething isn't right, babe
I keep catching the Fwords but the meaning's thin
I'm someAmwhere outside my life, babe
I keep scratching but someFhow I can't get in
DmSo we're Amslaves to anCy semblance Gof touch
DmLord we Amshould quit but we Flove it too Cmuch
[Chorus]
SeAmdated, we're nursEming oFn a poison that neCver stuDmng
Our teeth and lungs are lined Emwith the Amscum of it
AmSome whiff of this deaEmth and Fguts
We are Cdeaf, we are numDmb
Free and Emyoung and we can feel Amnone of it
[Verse 3]
CDarlin', don't you, stand there watching, won't you
EmCome and save me from it
CDarlin', don't you, join in, you're supposed to
EmDrag me away from it
DmAny Amway to disCtract and sedGate
DmAdding Amshadows to the wFalls of the Ccave
[Chorus]
AmYou and I nursiEmng on Fa poison that neveCr stDmung
Our teeth and lungs are lined Emwith the Amscum of it
AmSome whiff of this deaEmth and Fguts
We are Cdeaf, we are numDmb
Free and Emyoung and we can feel Amnone of it
SAmedated, we're nurEmsing Fon a poison that nCever stDmung
Our teeth and lungs are lined Emwith the Amscum of it
AmSome whiff of this deaEmth and Fguts
We are Cdeaf, we are numDmb
Free and Emyoung and we can feel Amnone of it
