G C/g D/f# G
We’ll lay here for years or for hours
Thrown here or found, to freeze or to thaw
G C/g D/f# G
So long, we’d become the flowers
Two corpses we were, two corpses I saw

And they’d find us in a week
When the weather gets hot
G C/g D/f# G
After the insects have made their claim
I’ll be home with you, I’ll be home with you

I have never known sleep like this slumber that creeps to me

G C/g D/f# G
We’ll lay here for years or for hours
Your hand in my hand, so still and discreet
G C/g D/f# G
So long, we’d become the flowers
We’d feed well the land and worry the sheep

And they’d find us in a week
When the cattle’d show fear
G C/g D/f# G
After the insects have made their claim
G C/g D/f# G
After the foxes have known our taste
I’ll be home with you, I’ll be home with you

And they’d find us in a week
When the weather gets hot
And they’d find us in a week
When the cattle’d show fear

And they’d find us in a week

When the buzzards get loud

After the insects have made their claim

After the foxes have known our taste

After the raven has had his say
I’ll be home with you, I’ll be home with you
I’ll be home with you, I’ll be home with you
I’ll be home with you, I’ll be home with you

Capo 1

Intro: C Dm F (C/E)
[(C/E)]

So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes[(C/E)]
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight[(C/E)]
So deep in the swill with the most familiar of swine[(C/E)]
For reasons wretched and divine

She blows out of nowhere roman candle of the wild[(C/E)]
Laughing her way through my feeble disguise[(C/E)]
No other version of me I would rather be tonight[(C/E)]
And lord she found me just in time

Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
I need to be youthfully felt ‘cause god I never felt young

She’s gonna save me call me ‘baby’ run her hands through my hai[(C/E)]r
She’ll know me crazy soothe me daily better yet she wouldn’t car[(C/E)]e
We’ll steal a Lexus be detectives ride ‘round picking up clues[(C/E)]
We’ll name our children Jackie and Wilson raise ‘em on rhythm and blues

Lord it’d be great to find a place we could escape someti[(C/E)]me
Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine[(C/E)]
Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside[(C/E)]
Sit back and watch the world go by

Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust
We tried the world good god it wasn’t for us

(chorus)

Instrumental:
[Em-F] [Em-F]
[Em-F] [Em-F]
[Em-F] [Em-F]

Cut clean from the dream that night let my mind reset[(C/E)]
Lookin’ up from a cigarette and she’s already lef[(C/E)]t
I start diggin’ up the yard for what’s left of me and our little vignette[(C/E)]
For whatever poor soul is coming next

(chorus)

 
 
Her fight and fury is fiery
Oh but she loves
Like [C/G]sleep to the freezing
Sweet and right and merciful
I’m all but washed
In the [C/G]tide of her breathing.
 
 
[C/G]And it’s worth it, [C/G]it’s divine
[C/G]And I have this some of the time.
 
The way she [C/G]shows me I’m hers and she is mine
Open [C/G]hand or closed fist would be fine
[C/G]Blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.

C, Dm,Am (x4)

[Verse 1](Riff 1, Am7, Em, Gm)
Babe,
there’s something tragic about you
something so magic about you
don't you agree

[Verse 2] (Riff 1, Am7, Em, Gm)
Babe,
there’s something lonesome about you
something so wholesome about you
Get closer to me

[Bridge 1]
no tight side, no rolling eyes, no irony
no ‘who cares’, no vacant stares, no time for me

Honey you’re familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on it’s sword
Innocence died screaming, honey ask me I should know
I slithered here from eden just to sit outside your door

[Riff 2]

[Verse 3] (Riff 1, Am7, Em, Gm)
Babe,
there’s something wretched about this
something so precious about this
where to begin

[Verse 4](Riff 1, Am7, Em, Gm)
Babe,
there’s something broken about this
but I might be open about this
oh what a sin

[Bridge 2]
To the strand a picnic plan for you and me
a rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree

Honey you’re familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on it’s sword
Innocence died screaming, honey ask me I should know
I slithered here from eden just to sit outside your door

[At 3:10 there is that kind of spanish part that I couldn’t tab. Sorry…]
