Intro
Eb Gm F x4
Verse
Bb F Gm Eb I was the first match struck at the first cremation, Bb F Gm Eb you are my shallow grave, I'll tend you as a sexton Bb F Gm Eb If you're the casket door that's being slammed upon me, Bb F Gm Eb I'll be a plague cross painted on your naked body Bb Well summer sighed and summoned up hail. F Gm Dirty dish rack drips the holy grail (Gm) May be heartslob but I want 'em to know, Eb Bb cut and shut us like a portmanteau (Bb) F We sit around jus' spitballin', (F) Gm all the witches cackle round my cauldron (Gm) Eb Recognise the lies from my poker tongue (Eb) Gm is it true...?
Chorus
F Eb They say you and me (Eb) are tautology Gm F What grows from the seeds, Eb can you quite believe? Gm F through cracks come the weeds, Eb Long time listener, Gm F first time caller, Eb no need to remind me Gm F What death leaves behind me
Bb
Verse
Bb F Gm Eb Why must I lie awake, from dust until the morning, Bb F Gm Eb through fear of bein' impaled upon errant mattress spring? Bb F Gm Eb Within a waking dream I finally made my heel turn, Bb F Gm Eb lived life as Super 8 when you were promised Hilton Bb Propose me as a pardon for sins, F Gm led on barbecue I'm burnt offerings (Gm) Eb I proof-read the Book of Job for the Lord: (Eb) Bb edit one, League Cup 2004 (Bb) F We, delicate as a filigree, (F) Gm cleared a place for us in the chicory (Gm) Eb Colosseum blood will dry in the sun (Eb) Gm is it true...?
Chorus
F Eb They say you and me (Eb) are tautology Gm F What grows from the seeds, Eb can you quite believe? Gm F through cracks come the weeds, Eb Long time listener, Gm F first time caller, Eb no need to remind me Gm F What death leaves behind me
Bb
Bb F Gm Eb We tread it carefully, we feel around in kid-gloves Bb F Gm Eb What death will leave behind, death will leave behind love Bb F Gm Eb We will flower again, I have surely seen it Bb F Gm WE WILL FLOWER AGAIN F Eb They say you and me (Eb) are tautology Gm F What grows from the seeds, Eb can you quite believe? Gm F through cracks come the weeds, Eb Long time listener, Gm F first time caller, Eb no need to remind me Gm F What death leaves behind me
