As recorded by Laura Marling (From the 2011 Album A CREATURE I DON'T KNOW) [Intro] D [Verse 1]
D
My friends, my dear friends

B
And lovers, oh my lovers

                     Bm
I leave you for them

                      D
They got a hand on my back
[Verse 2]
D
Mama has money now and Mama has friends

D
She's making rags for some uptown hags

                         Bm
With their money in bags

                   D
And why are you so sad?
[Verse 3]
D                         Bm
Why are you always so sad?

                  D
Why do I not understand?

D
Why don't I see what it is you see?

                             Bm
Why can't I live and just be?

                  D
I'm full of guilt

D
I am full of guilt

D
You're very tall, you're very handsome

D
You have it all, your skin smells like man

    Bm                         D
And I, you never know how I ached

D
You will never know how I ache
[Verse 4]
D
Ever considered the sea?

D
I heard you had to be strong

D
Why not float around with me?

                         Bm
It won't take you so long

                     D
You can go where I'm at

D
You can hang around with me
[Bridge]
D         A        D                      G
And a few good men will go where they ought

                       D  A
Where they ought not be

      D   A      D                   G
And a few good mothers go for what they

                         A D A
What they ought not teach

      D    A              D                  G
And I long for a touch or reminder of us, but

            D      A
But it must not be

      D                           G
And a few strong branches over water

                              D
Reach for what they ought not reach
[Outro]
D
I hope your mother knows where it is you have been

D                                               Dm
I hope your mother knows what it is you have seen

          D
She'd be so proud
