[Intro] Am Em F C Dm Em Am [Verse 1]
Am
Just a little rush, babe

                  F
To feel dizzy, to derail the mind of me

Am
Just a little hush, babe

                          F
Our veins are busy but my heart's in atrophy

Dm  Am        C            G
Any way to distract and sedate

Dm     Am              F           C
Adding shadows to the walls of the cave
[Chorus]
Am             Em   F                  C   Dm
You and I nursing on a poison that never stung

                              Em       Am
Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it

Am                    Em     F
Some whiff of this death and guts

       C               Dm
We are deaf, we are numb

         Em                    Am
Free and young and we can feel none of it
[Verse 2]
Am
Something isn't right, babe

                    F
I keep catching the words but the meaning's thin

        Am
I'm somewhere outside my life, babe

                          F
I keep scratching but somehow I can't get in

Dm       Am          C           G
So we're slaves to any semblance of touch

Dm      Am                 F           C
Lord we should quit but we love it too much
[Chorus]
  Am               Em   F                 C      Dm
Sedated, we're nursing on a poison that never stung

                              Em       Am
Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it

Am                    Em     F
Some whiff of this death and guts

       C               Dm
We are deaf, we are numb

         Em                    Am
Free and young and we can feel none of it
[Verse 3]
C
Darlin', don't you, stand there watching, won't you

Em
Come and save me from it

C
Darlin', don't you, join in, you're supposed to

Em
Drag me away from it

Dm  Am        C            G
Any way to distract and sedate

Dm     Am              F           C
Adding shadows to the walls of the cave
[Chorus]
Am             Em   F                  C   Dm
You and I nursing on a poison that never stung

                              Em       Am
Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it

Am                    Em     F
Some whiff of this death and guts

       C               Dm
We are deaf, we are numb

         Em                    Am
Free and young and we can feel none of it

 Am               Em   F                 C      Dm
Sedated, we're nursing on a poison that never stung

                              Em       Am
Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it

Am                    Em     F
Some whiff of this death and guts

       C               Dm
We are deaf, we are numb

         Em                    Am
Free and young and we can feel none of it
