Intro:  C   G   Am  F  
CWhen the biGrds are sleeping
AmThat's when the trees Fsing
CYou left your wiGnter clothes, 
And your tAmeeth marks in my skFin
CSo shake the leaves, oGff the trees, 
AmWatch them float dFown the stream
CYour son, your dauGghter
AmSwimming in the waFter
 C G Am F
CAnd I miss yoGu, even wAmhen you're aroFund
CI'm a black clGoud, 
Sending ligAmhtning to the grFound
CSo darling please, Gshow your teeAmth
Just one more daFnce to help me sleCep
Whirl, cGold water eyes
AmFill the past with friFendly nights
CHuman skin, cGan be hard to live in
YAmou'll feel better Fin the morningC  
GWash your hanAmds in the lakeF  C  
GYou've got a heAmart, some way
*Repeat for other verses*
Trails lost in the snow
Make way for winter's eerie glow
And that black rock in your bedroom
I hope you'll climb it soon
In your boat, tied to a tree
I hope you'll find the sea
Throw me a dream please, it's been a dreamless sleep
For such a long time, such a long time
Sing myself awake
Watch the branches break
No one could ever take your place
Wash your face in the lake
You've got a diamond under your skin

C G Am F

Intro:

C G

When the birds are sleeping

Am F

That's when the trees sing

C G

You left your winter clothes,

Am F

And your teeth marks in my skin

C G

So shake the leaves, off the trees,

Am F

Watch them float down the stream

C G

Your son, your daughter

Am F

Swimming in the water

C G Am F

And I miss you, even when you're around

C G

I'm a black cloud,

Am F

Sending lightning to the ground

C G Am

So darling please, show your teeth

F C

Just one more dance to help me sleep

Whirl, cold water eyes

Am F

Fill the past with friendly nights

C G

Human skin, can be hard to live in

Am F C

You'll feel better in the morning

G Am F C

Wash your hands in the lake

G Am

You've got a heart, some way

*Repeat for other verses*

Trails lost in the snow

Make way for winter's eerie glow

And that black rock in your bedroom

I hope you'll climb it soon

In your boat, tied to a tree

I hope you'll find the sea

Throw me a dream please, it's been a dreamless sleep

For such a long time, such a long time

Sing myself awake

Watch the branches break

No one could ever take your place

Wash your face in the lake

You've got a diamond under your skin
