Behind The House

Neko Case


Tom: Em

Em                 G             C               Em
At night I woke up cryin' in the lane behind the house

Em             G               C                 Em 
Ghosts wet and steamin' by the time I figured it out

C                     Em
You didn't die in the fire
 
        C                           Em
Was the flood that carried you from me

        C                           Em
And the embers of your house still glowin'

        B7
Make it hard, hard, hard 

C              Em
To sleep.......... 

C                 Em
It's hard to breathe

Em               G          C             
Not much room to go more crazy

Em              G                 C             Em
A flamin' sword above my head for all of you to see

C                  Em
Beware my girl, beware

C                  Em  
Beware my girl, beware

         B7
Of These memories............ 
           
            C               Em
And what is real................

Em      C                  Em
What is real..................


Em   G     C    Em 


C                               Em
I walk this world forever in a dream

C                            Em
Or is this the land of the living

C                           Em
Or is this your way to tell me

     B7
That I, I, I couldn't

C                       Em
Save you...................

Em         C                      Em
I Couldn't save you..................
