[Intro]
B E C#m  x2


[Verse 1]
B                                 E
  You were swallowing god damning dogmas
                     C#m
rough palmistry your hands could not align
B                              E
  unsexed you borrowed callow spit not lost
   C#m                      B       E C#m
no looking for a space just not mine


[Chorus 1]
B              E        C#m
  Redolent with skin of unknown
B             E    C#m
  unwary hands nomadic ghost
B                  E        C#m
  levied words from my spiteful throat
B              E         C#m
  understanding where my thoughts go
      B                E     B
you’d build a boat out of my bones


[Verse 2]
B                                   E
  I thought I’d reclaim you for the ocean
                C#m
but I could not cradle you with dirty hands
B                           E
  no star death casketed in palms like these
      C#m                              B    E C#m
white knuckles cracking playing simple maths


[Chorus 2]
B
  We were squealing
E           C#m
  dogs with bad dreams
B                 E        C#m
   eyes that smile gaze so dimly
B          E         C#m
   isolated nursing skinned knees
    B             E           B
i’m weaker than i thought I'd be
