Big Thief – Vampire Empire (Ukulele)

G                  C
Watching TV tired, bleeding on the bed

G
The milk has just expired

C
All the leaves are dead

          G
I'm not quiet, you've been quiet

      C
Just receiving what you said

G
Reeling feeding feeling filled by

C
Everything you fed

G
I see you as you see yourself

C
Through all the books you read

G
Overwhelmed with guilt and

C
Realising the disease

G
You give me chills

C
I've had it with the drills

G
I am nothing, you are nothing

C
We are nothing with the pills

G
I am empty 'til she fills

C                             G
Alive until she kills in her vampire empire

         C
I'm the fish and she's my gills

G        C    G        C
Falling, yeah falling, yeah

G
I see you there rejecting

C
All your earthly power

G
Protecting and dissecting 'til you've

C
Emptied every hour

G
We jumped into the pond and

C
Then come under the shower

G
We lay upon my pillow and

C
You open like a flower

G
I wanted to see you naked

C
I wanted to hear you scream

G
I wanted to kiss your

     C
Skin and your everything

G
I wanted to be your woman

C
I wanted to be your man

G
I wanted to be the one

C
That you could understand

G
You give me chills

C
I've had it with the drills

G
I am nothing, you are nothing

C
We are nothing with the pills

G
I am empty 'til she fills

C
Alive until she kills

G
I’m her vampire empire

        C
I'm the fish and she's my gills

G        C    G        C
Falling, yeah falling, yeah

G
I walked into your dagger for the

C
Last time in a row

G
It's like trying to start a fire

C
With matches in the snow

G
You can't seem to hold me here

C
You can't seem to let me go

G                          C
So I can't find surrender, can't keep control

G
You turn me inside out and then

C
You want me outside in

G
You spin me all around and then

C
You ask me not to spin

G
You say you want to be alone

C
And then you want children

G
You wanna be with me baby

C
You wanna be with him

G
You give me chills

C
I've had it with the drills

G
I am nothing, you are nothing

C
We are nothing with the pills

G
I am empty 'til she fills

 C                            G
Alive until she kills in her vampire empire

         C
I'm the fish and she's my gills

G        C    G        C
Falling, yeah falling, yeah

G*       C*
Falling, yeah
