Slowdive


Tom: Am

Am  E  F  E
Am  E  F  E

[verse]
Am
You tell me I’m lost and I don't seem too sure what to do
E
You tell me I’m lost and I don't seem too sure what to do
F
There’s a fire in my head and I'm blinded by bullets
E
There’s a fire in my head and I'm blinded by bullets
Am
Dancing to nowhere, I’m losing my head and I'm
E
Dancing to nowhere, I’m losing my head and I'm
F
And the man at the bar that night recall that he needed me
E
And the man at the bar that night recall that he needed me

[chorus]
Am            C            F      Dm
Sister, I’ve lost all the feeling
Am
I’m lost and I'm sold
  C           F   Dm
I lay down beside you
Am          C     F  Dm
Sister, I’m blinded
Am
It’s only my eyes
     C           F     Dm
I’ve sold them before

 Am  E  F  E

[verse]
Am
The man said “The drinking is handled by pouring it right."
E
The man said “The drinking is handled by pouring it right."
F
And it seemed much the same when he pointed the gun at his head
E
And it seemed much the same when he pointed the gun at his head
Am
“Who'd need me then?"
E
It raised so much noise that I checked out of time, yeah
F
Blood on my face and the words of a stranger
E
(It raised so much noise and I checked out of time, yeah)

[chorus]
Am           C            F       Dm
Sister, I’ve lost all the feeling
Am
I’m lost and I'm sold
   C         F    Dm
I lay down beside you
Am          C     F   Dm
Sister, I’m blinded
Am
It’s only my eyes
     C           F      Dm
I’ve sold them before
