FI wanted your teeth in my shouldeCr
so I Bbturned out the lights and I Dmleft you to smoulder
With your Gmlips in a sweat Eband the rips in your tights
I told you Cdon't let the bedbugs bite
But Dmyou Fslid out of your fig-leaf sunglasses
And Bbpouring out smoke you tied me Amup to the Bbmast
GmAnd you laughed like a child, in your cloak, in your haze
With your Fhair piled over Cmy face
F
  C    GmAnd then you Ebbound me and gagged me
With your wildAmfire thighs
And dragged me Gminto your dreams
Of teeming Ccentipede skies
Your nitro-Gmglycerine smile
In the merry-go Gglow
There's no Gmplace for me here
Christ, it's Call gonna AblowC  
     C     COh wellF  Dm  
DmI took a Bbpicture of you yesterdayDm  
BbBut there's not Dmmuch left to Gsay now the Flight's flooding through
And you're Clazy with a head full of dew
CWith your feeFt trying to worm from the sheets
BbLying thinly exposed in the Dmthermostat heatBb  
And there are Gmclouds, there are signs in the Saturday mist
And I can't Chelp noticing the Flines on your Cwrists

BGmut on the Ebstreet there's the time
And the Fred in my eyes
Where we Gmsize up the day
And we say Cour goodbyes
You laid your Ebgaze on the Gmlight
And your Dmsoul in my phone
And when the Gmman turned white
You made the crossing aClone

[Intro]

Fm D

Bb Gm Dm C

[verse]

F C

I wanted your teeth in my shoulder

Bb Dm

so I turned out the lights and I left you to smoulder

Gm Eb

With your lips in a sweat and the rips in your tights

I told you don't let the bedbugs bite

Dm F

But you slid out of your fig-leaf sunglasses

Bb Am Bb

And pouring out smoke you tied me up to the mast

And you laughed like a child, in your cloak, in your haze

F C

With your hair piled over my face

C Gm Eb

And then you bound me and gagged me

With your wildfire thighs

And dragged me into your dreams

Of teeming centipede skies

Your nitro-glycerine smile

In the merry-go glow

There's no place for me here

C A C

Christ, it's all gonna blow

C C F Dm

Oh well

Dm Bb Dm

I took a picture of you yesterday

Bb Dm G F

But there's not much left to say now the light's flooding through

And you're lazy with a head full of dew

C F

With your feet trying to worm from the sheets

Bb Dm Bb

Lying thinly exposed in the thermostat heat

And there are clouds, there are signs in the Saturday mist

C F C

And I can't help noticing the lines on your wrists

Gm Eb

But on the street there's the time

And the red in my eyes

Where we size up the day

And we say our goodbyes

Eb Gm

You laid your gaze on the light

And your soul in my phone

And when the man turned white

You made the crossing alone

G Gm C Dm

D Gm C F D

But You must be out of your mind if you think I can help you

Gm C F

You must be out of your mind if you think I can stay

Gm C

Oh, the sunlight has skewed the perspective

Dm Gm

If you let me lead you on

C Dm

You will lead me away

C Gm F

C Dm Bb

You will lead me away

Dm Bb

You will lead me away

F C Gm Bb

You will lead me away

F, Bb
