Bright Eyes – Awful Sweetness Of Escaping Sweat (Ukulele)

   Dm
we escape from the house

                               Am
as the day dissapears from the sky

                            C
we bacame what we wanted to be

       G          Am
like a dream or a ghost

  Dm
i collapse out of turn

                   Am
lying still in the grass and felt the heat from the ground

                  C          G          Am
rising up to contract and expand like a breath

   Dm
we escape from that place

                                    Am
soaked with sweat and the poison we drank

                                                C
fill the bathtub with ice, hope this fever will break

       G
like a heart

Am
easily

      Dm                    G
but i do not recall all the words that were formed

         Am
on those wire lips as they greeted me

  Dm                      G                          Am
a promise was made witout thought as the temperature climbed

      Dm                       G
and i started to sink like the moon

                   Am    E  C  Em  G
tends to do if you stare at it too long

         E              Am
then you blink and it's gone

       C            G              Am
and we crawl to our sleep with the dawn

  Dm                                              Am
i awake in the light feeling hollow and selfishly warm

                                                     C
close the blinds and retreat until what's burning is gone

         G        Am
and it's light is away

           Dm
the we are back in the dark

                                      Am
chasing nothing through backyards and trees

                                                   C
you ripped your shirt on a fence but it didn't get me

          G
yeah it's fear

                Am
it makes you so low

          Dm
and these creatures look crooked

                                   Am
their shadows cut lines through my face and the concrete is fire

                       C
where my bare feet are placed

     G            Am
in a line next to yours

      Dm                           G
and i guess i'm not sure if it was fear that was born

         Am
as those awful eyes made their claim on us

         Dm
i put my hands on the fence

          G
said your name

                 Am
and i started to climb

       Dm                         G
and it must have been sweat but i drank it like wine

       Am     E  C     Em  G
it was sweet, my mouth was dry

            E                    Am
i heard you scream but i made no reply

      C              G        Am
i can still taste it now if i try
