Tom: Am
E = 222100
F = 333200
G = 555400
E F
Giving in to love
E
And sharing my time
F
Letting someone into my misery
E F
I told it all step by step
G
How I landed on the island
F E
And how I’d swim across the sea
F
And it crosses my mind
G
That I may awake to a knife in me
F E
No more breath in my hair or ladies’ underwear
F
Tossed up over the alarm clock
E F
Blood dripping from the bed to a neatly written poem
E F
A heartfelt last line reading
G
“There is no more mystery"
F E
Is it going to happen, my love?
F
“There is no more mystery"
G
Is it going to happen, my love?
F E
It’s all in my head, she said, "Morning after nightmare
F E
You’re building a wall," she said, "Higher than the both of us
F E
So try living life instead of hiding in the bedroom
F G F
Show me a smile and I’ll promise not to leave you"
E
It happened under a rainy cloud
F
Passing through the dark south
E
We went into a big house
F
And slept in a small bed
E
I didn’t know you then
F
As well as you of me
E
We talked of our sad lives
F G
And we went off separately
F E
And we went off separately
F
I found your overseas souvenirs
E
Holiday greeting cards
F G
And some long-forgot high school fears
F
“It's all in my head," I said
E
Banging a piano
F
“I've not been so alone," I thought
G
“Since kicking in the womb"
F
I drank so much tea
E
I wrote my letters in Kanji, yeah
F
Around the block I walked and walked
E
Pretending you were with me
F G
Not wanting to die out here
F E
Without you
instrumental
E F E F G F G F E
F
The hurting never ends
E
Like birthdays and old friends
F
We forget that is flesh
E
Blood and bone is human
F
Trading phone lines for airlines
E
Unwilling to face
F G
That love is found on the inside
F
Not the outside
E
And like a medicine bottle
F G
In the cabinet I’ll keep you
F
And like a medicine bottle
E F G
In my hand I will hold you
F E
And swallow you slowly
F
As to last me a lifetime
E
Without holding too tight
F E
I do not want to lose
F
The thrill that it gives me
E
To look out from my window
F
And scowl at the houses
E F
From my world in my bedroom
G
“It's all in his head," she read
F E
In a girlfriend’s self-help book
F
“It's all his own making
G
A war with himself
F
Like two sides of a wall
E F
That separates two countries
E
He shuts out the world
F
And wants only to love you”
G F
Not wanting to die out here
E
Without you
F G
Not wanting to die out here
F E
Without you
