Intro:  E   G  (x12)


Verse:

G          E
Nothing makes my heart so wild as 
being

G       E                     G
In possession of a potent night,

E                              
Racing down the stairs in a nude 
      G
descension

E
Shedding and discarding my hide

G        A                 
But the bold strokes crack so 
            C
quickly and it?s

A                    G
Often that I wonder why

E                                 
Dripping at the slow motion rate 
      G
of surrender

E
Hanging to my bones as they dry

G         D
How could I want something more

             A
than a new hell in which to fry

G      E                          G
When I see in only black and white


Bridge:  E   G   (x4)


Verse:

G          E
There?s a sinful sort of side of 
being

G         E                        G
so contained, A bit like being lost.

E                              
Stumbling through the background 
                        G
like a small town loner

E                              
quietly a whispering my thoughts 
    G
into

A                         
my cupped hands, folded and 
       C
monk-like,

A                             
at least thats what i?ve always 
    G
said.

E                                 
How does writing letters from the 
             G
lonely margins

E
feel when there is no hair on my 
head?

G       D                       
Is the solitude I seek a trap where 
A
i?ve been blindly led?

   G       E                      
Tell me, where then do I go 
   G
instead?


Solo:  E     G   (x13)


Verse:

G     E
When atonement comes in distant 
waves

G        E                         G
I might wait until the next to break

E                                 
choking through forgiveness at a 
              G
sun fly prompter

E
staring through the back of my face.

G      A                          C
It?s a vulgar, hidden part of being

A                             G
tethered to the world right now;

E                                 
spending all my dollars to remain 
       G
a member,

E
nothing in my eyes but a scowl.

G      D                         
Do i bother to define myself beyond 
A
what they allow?

G     E                      G
Have I already forgotten how?
