Verse 3
Rising up to contract (C major) and ex
pand (E minor) like a (A minor) breathe
(D minor) We escape from that place
Soaked with sweat and
the poison we drank (A minor)
Fill the bathtub with ice and hope
this fever will break (C major)
Verse 4
Like a heart (E minor)
Eas (A minor) ily
But I do not re (F major) call all (A minor) the words
(G major) that were formed
On those (A minor) wire lips as they greeted me
Verse 5
A prom (F major) ise was made without though (G major)
as the temperature climbed (A minor)
And I star (F major) ted to sink like the moon
(G major) Tends to do if you stare (C major) (E minor) at (A minor) it too long
(F major) Then (A minor) you blink (G major) and its (A minor) gone
Verse 6
And (A minor) we crawl (C major) to our sleep (E minor) with (A minor) the dawn
(D minor) (A minor)
(D minor) (A minor) (D minor)
(A minor) (D minor) (A minor)
(G major) I awake (D minor) in the light feeling
hollow and selfishly warm (A minor)
Close the blinds and retreat until
what is burning is gone (C major)
And it's light (E minor) is away
(A minor)
Verse 7
Then (D minor) we are back in the dark
Chasing nothing
through backyards and trees
(A minor) You ripped your shirt on a fence
but it didn't get me (C major)
Yeah it's fear (E minor)
Verse 8
It makes you so (A minor) low
(D minor) And (G major) these creatures (D minor) (G major)
(D minor) look crooked
Their shadows cut lines through my face (A minor)
and the concrete is fire
Where my bare feet are placed (C major)
Verse 9
In a line (E minor) next to yours (A minor)
And I guess (F major) I'm not sure (A minor) (F major) if
it was (G major) fear that was born
As those (A minor) awful eyes made
their claim on us
I put my hands (F major) on (A minor) the fence
Verse 10
Said your (G major) name
And I started to climb (A minor)
And it must (F major) have been sweat
but I drank (G major) it like wine
It (A minor) was (C major) sweet (E minor) and my (A minor) mouth (G major) was (A minor) dry
Verse 11
I heard you scream (G major) but I made no reply (A minor)
I can still (C major) (A minor) taste it (E minor) now (A minor) if I try
