Verse 1 chords:
Dsus2      Am    G                     C               Dsus2
December's traditions suck the last of summer from our cheeks
          Am                   G     C
Draws the curtains, strips the trees
   Dsus2     Am       C             G                Dsus2
In so-called living rooms, Scottish pastimes come to roost
               Am            C      G
Love's labor's stain linen's sheet


Interlude: [Am - Dsus2] x2


Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
The ghostly body who makes his bed beside you
Then slowly losing teeth
The boy needs sunlight and the shock of modesty
He needs to get some sleep


Interlude 1: [Am - Dsus2 --- Am - Dsus2 - G - C - C - Dsus2] x2


Chorus 1 chords:
Bb5               F                Am                   Bb5
It's not the answer   that's taken plaster of shattered bone
                  F             Am
What do you need,   what do you need from me
Bb5                F         Am              Bb5
It's not the answer   to the cancer like the cold
                 F              Am        Bb5
What do you need,   what do you need from me?


Interlude 2: [Dsus2 - C - Am] then, [Dsus2 - Am - C]


Verse 3: [use verse 1 chords]
After months of grieving, fuck the grief I'm leaving
Will you leave with me?
The blood loss, the towering cost
Mouth to mouth, tongue to tongue
The lick brings warm the talent taste
I can't correct myself, convince you
That there's no-one else in volume, good news
If you want a safe, you don't want me


Interlude 3: [use Interlude 1]


Chorus 2: [use chorus 1 chords]
It's not the answer that's taken plaster of shattered bone
What do you need, what do you need from me
It's not the answer to the cancer like the cold
What do you need, what do you need from me?
It's not the answer, I'm just begging to be told
What do you need, what do you need from me
If I had the answer, write a book of what I know
What do you need, what do you need from me?
