Drop-D tuning DADGBE (capo at second fret - chord names are not transposed) INTRO: G#m A C#m Badd2 Eadd4 Esus4 Eadd4 Esus4 VERSE:

G#m  A             C#m     Badd2
  we sleep together  while all around us

E     F#m                 E          A6
  peo-ple kill each other where they lie

G#m    A           C#m         Badd2
  they lie together  till they find someone better

E         F#m            E       A6
  try and negotiate that slow de-mise

VERSE:

G#m     A                C#m         Badd2
  but I just can't credit  that type of effort for a

E       F#m               E         A6
  piece of nothing on the edge of a knife

G#m   A              C#m       Badd2
  sli-ces you so thin  you dry like sheets in the wind

E        F#m                   E           A6
  hold a candle behind through you see the light

C#m      Badd2          E        `
  I want the song I can sing for-ever I don't

F#m    C#m                   F#m       C#m
  care for structure just to know it's mine

C#m        Badd2       E           `
  I'd hate to see this thing we've developed be-

F#m    C#m               Badd2

RE-INTRO: G#m A C#m Badd2 Eadd4 Esus4 Eadd4 Esus4 VERSE:

G#m   A            C#m             Badd2
  the afternoon can  bring with it shallow moods but

E          F#m               E          A6
  I'd jump a harbour wall to clear your mind

G#m  A                C#m        Badd2
  I  quarter the years  you drop the sails till we're clear

E           F#m                   E            A6
  I'll look for reefs you map the stars in the night

VERSE:

G#m       A            C#m         Badd2
  and his-tory tells us  of worlds we'll know nothing of

E            F#m             E       A6
  then retro-spect becomes a shackle tight on

G#m   A           C#m     Badd2
  the ankles of us  so in the future we trust

E          F#m                   E            A6
  we cross our fingers like some kids telling lies

  I want the song I can sing for-ever I don't

  I'd hate to see this thing we've developed be-

CHORUS-2:

C#m     Badd2          E             `
  I wan-na know that I know what I'm talking about

F#m     C#m               F#m        C#m
  until I do well all the walls seem white

C#m        Badd2           E             `
  but when I'm sure that I know what I'm talking about

F#m         C#m                   Badd2
  I'll take your burden if you'll say it's
