[Verse 1]

I went down to the basement
A
To check on the sour mash
D
I looked down to the nonreactive ceramic tub
A
It was bubbling
[Chorus 1]
G D
I had stirred up the dust on the stairs coming down
A
I saw the dust devils swarming around
G D
Incoming sun beams cut them apart
[Chorus 2]
A
And I watched a shadow pass across my heart
G D A
You were upstairs in the kitchen with your head against the sink
G D
Trying to cool down
A7 A
Trying to cool down
D A
[Verse 2]
D
I know you don't believe me but I could hear you breathing
A
I looked into the tub and there the mixture was seething
D
With new life
New life all around
[Chorus 3]
A
I had stirred up the dust on the stairs coming down
G D A
You were upstairs in the kitchen with your head against the sink
G D
Trying to cool down
A7 A
Trying to cool down
D A
Yeah.
