This song is quite easy, but it seems like it's not standard tuning. So figure it out yourselves.
I unCdressed you with my eEmyes I have
Maybe even Graped you
GIn a dark and eerie corner of my Ammind
AmI tucked you there
AmAnd touched you in a dream last night
Pushed you Daside when you entered
DMy thoughts at the wrong tCime
CI have sat up Emupon your lap and
GSaddled my thighs around your hips like ropes
I rode yAmou on a chair and in the shower
And all the while DI clung heavy to your back
CMy desire Emdeeply harnessed in your Gspine
While I Amsqueezed you like a tree trunk
DYou may have been one
Sexless and comfort in yoCur mind
EmEven barer than a Gchild's
I'm Amriding recklessly through a thick Dand humid
DJunglCe growing Emanxious with the Gdeep and primal
GYearning that stirs
Deeply Ampulsing up toward the surface
DLike sap rising or honey or tarC

C Em

I undressed you with my eyes I have

Maybe even raped you

G Am

In a dark and eerie corner of my mind

I tucked you there

And touched you in a dream last night

Pushed you aside when you entered

D C

My thoughts at the wrong time

C Em

I have sat up upon your lap and

Saddled my thighs around your hips like ropes

I rode you on a chair and in the shower

And all the while I clung heavy to your back

C Em G

My desire deeply harnessed in your spine

While I squeezed you like a tree trunk

You may have been one

Sexless and comfort in your mind

Em G

Even barer than a child's

Am D

I'm riding recklessly through a thick and humid

D C Em G

Jungle growing anxious with the deep and primal

Yearning that stirs

Deeply pulsing up toward the surface

D C

Like sap rising or honey or tar
