HARRIET

G Am Em

through the hem of evening

G Am Em

into the flesh of the night

G Am Em

you step out to receive them

in the bruising light

G Am Em

you leave your bed of novels

G Am Em

you leave your hovering crown

G Am Em

you leave your wit and your mettle

and you come down

C Em D

but it's only a minute then

C Em D

til the hole in the canvas spreads

C Em G Am Em

and it grows til there's nothing left

G Am Em

so if you even remember

G Am Em

me after all that will come

G Am Em

think of all i intended

not what i've done

G Am Em

see me like an arrow

G Am Em

still upon the bow

G Am Em

set to the heart of the target

hanging bright above

C Em D

but it's only a minute then

C Em D

til the shot is released and sent

C Em G Am Em

and lost to the shifting wind

G Am D

(key change!)

D G Bm A

oh they don't know you, not like i do, not like us, harriet

D G Bm A

but they would love you, just like i do, if they could, harriet

D G Bm A

cause what you are, and what you want, are so far apart, and they're travelling on

D G Bm A

oh what you are is staggering drunk, but i'll pick you up and i'll carry you off

(key change!)

E A C#m B

oh they don't know you, not like i know you, not like us, harriet

E A C#m B

but they would love you, just like i love you, if they could, harriet

E A C#m B
