[Intro] [Verse]
E                         A         D      A
When we met it was in the hot green jungle

E                                A        D      A
Your perfect flesh impervious to anything fungal

E               F#m
You would sweat coconut milk

    D              A                                   F#m
And I'd lie awake, restless with the heat there in the night
[Chorus]
F          A
Dawn would come

E                    F#m
And I would start to feel my own sunrise

F              A    D         A
but you'd just lie, sleeping
[Verse 2]
E                                A       D        A
And so we went away in search of gentler breezes

E                                   A              D        A
When we arrived I longed to lie and rustle in your grasses

E                    F#m  
But you would not permit me to retire there

D              A                                  F#m
None but a fly might settle on the meadow of your leg
[Chorus]
F          A
Dawn would come

E                    F#m
And I would start to feel my own sunrise

F              A    D         A
but you'd just lie, sleeping
[Verse 3]
E                                  A             D        A
Then we moved until we reached the tundra in the winter

E                                     A            D         A
Of course I longed to kiss her frosty teeth in the cold air 

E                  F#m
But now I've grown bloated on seal fat

D                    A                           F#m
Not even flies might settle on the meadow of her leg
[Chorus]
F          A
Dawn would come

E                    F#m
And I would start to feel my own sunrise

F              A    D         A
but you'd just lie, sleeping
