G          D            Am            Asus2
  As I took step number four

G          D             Am           Asus2
  Into the close of your tenement

G               D             Am      Asus2
  You cast your darkened eyes so low

G            D           Am           Asus2
  Said we're cold as the step cement 

G       G7         C          G               D    Am
  But I just don't know... oh what you meant 

Asus2        G   D   Am   Asus2
    What you meant...

G         D              Am           Asus2
  So Alec you may want a pill

G           D              Am         Asus2
  We are so cruel and to communicate

G             D         Am            Asus2
  Without the red stuff being spilled

G          D       Am                 Asus2
  We must MDMA our sentiment 

G       G7         C          G               D    Am
  But I just don't know... oh what you meant 

Asus2        G   D   Am   Asus2
    What you meant...
G D Am Am
G            D                Am      Asus2
  If we were feckless we'd be fine

G         D           Am              Asus2
  Sucking hard on our innocence

G                D               Am   Asus2
  But we've been bright in our decline

G      D                 Am           Asus2
  Been left as blackened filament 

G       G7         C          G               D    Am
  But I just don't know... oh what you meant 

Asus2        G    D   Am   Asus2
    What you meant...

G   D   Am           Asus2
Mmm-mmm

G                D                Am  Asus2
  Because I feel blood inside the vein

G         D              Am           Asus2
  I feel life inside the ligament

G         D                  Am       Asus2
  I feel alive yeah just the same

G      D              Am              Asus2
  Same vigour and the same intent 

G      G7         C              G               D   Am (strum once and hold)
  So I just don't know if that's what you meant
