[Intro]
C G Em G
don't you cherish me to sleep
C G
never keep your eyelids clipped
Em D
hold me for the pops and clicks
C G
I was only for the father's crib
( C Em )
Em G
hair, old, long along
C G Em G
your neck onto your shoulder blades
C G
always keep that message taped
Em D
cross your breasts you won't erase
C G
I was only for your very space
( C )
Em G
hip, under nothing
C G Em G
propped up by your other one, face 'way from the sun
C G
just have to keep a dialogue
Em D
teach our bodies: haunt the cause
C G
I was only trying to spell a loss
( C )
Em G
joy, it's all founded
C G Em G
pincher with the skin inside
C G
you pinned me with your black sphere eyes
Em D
you know that all the rope's untied
C G
I was only for to die beside
( C )
Em D
so itʼs storming on the lake
C
little waves our bodies break
Em D
there's a fire going out,
C
but there's really nothing to the south
Em D
swollen orange and light let through
C
your one piece swimmer stuck to you
Em G
sold, I'm Ever
C G Em G
open ears and open eyes
C G
wake up to your starboard bride
Em C
who goes in and then stays inside
C G
oh the demons come, they can subside
