Chords

[Intro] Em Em Em Em Em Em G Bm [Verse 1]
 Em
Open my legs, lie down with death

   Em        G         Bm
We kiss, we sigh, we sweat

     Em
His blackberry mouth stains my nightgown

            Em
I pull him close

       G      Bm           Em
Wrap my legs around and it tastes like life

   Em
I twist, I bite

         Em              G    Bm
The foxes chatter in the night
[Chorus]
Em
 Show me the way

A
 This feeling leads

    Em
The ache, the kick, the need

B
 Show me the way

A
 This feeling leads

    Em
The ache, the kick, the need
[Post-Chorus]
Em                       D
  A shimmering landscape, I widen my eyes

          G                           Am G/F D
Can I keep all this beauty forever inside?
[Verse 2]
Em                                                     G Bm
 I tear off my nightgown and run naked through the town

Em
 Run through rain, run through fog

       Em                                                       G Bm
Taking consolation in cats and dogs and things that cannot speak

Em
Ran to the ancestral plane, but they all showed up drunk and insane

       Em
When I asked what I could offer them

G                         Bm
They said, "Gin and tonic or lithium"

  Em
I asked, "Which way should I go?"

        Em
Through cigarette smoke, they said

Em                   G     Bm
"Child, how would we know?"
[Chorus]
Em
 Show me the way

A
 This feeling leads

    Em
The ache, the kick, the need

Em
 Show me the way

A
 This feeling leads

    Em
The ache, the kick, the need
[Post-Chorus]
Em
 Desire beyond reason

D
 Ruinous thing

              G
A stranger came to my door

                   Am G Am
And I welcomed him in

Em
 My feet are bleeding

D                                G
 But I cannot stop, I have many, many miles

        Am G Gb B
Yet to cross
[Bridge]
   C
I came to a clearing

        Em
Full of wailing and keening

          G                      Am
A well of tears that never runs dry

       C
Women said, "We've been waiting

Em                        G                    D
Waiting to meet you, it's only a matter of time"

          C
Thrust my fists in the ground

        Em                    G         Am
And the earth made a moaning sound, oh, oh

            C
I could feel something shudder

Em               D
Deeper, deeper down
[Outro]
      C                          Em
And I met every monster from the bar to Broadway

              G                      Am
And all their violent offers, I just turn them down

         C                          Em
And your threats and your promises, they don't scare me

       G                       D              C    Em G Am
After all, there's nobody more monstrous than me (Woo)

     C   Em D
Than me (Woo)
C Em G Am C Em D
