When there's a G* that means I slide my pinky up the E string
from the 3rd fret up to the 5th, 6th, and 7th, back down to the 3rd and up to the 5th and 6th again
before the next chord.
G G She turned her back on the church and put all her faith in me C Em Em G* At the back of the chapel where I taught her to screw and to blaspheme G G We turned our backs to the church, with our trousers around our knees C Em Em G* While screaming the scriptures she said I was her favourite heresy Am In a note I read: C "If you should go blind and deaf G Em I'll cleanse and I'll bathe you and I'll cook for you daily. Am C I will take a dry ballpoint pen and trace on your chest G Em All of the same conversations that we have now in bed." Am C G I don't mean to be selfish; but I think I'd sooner just be dead C Em G C Em G Behind the tennis court alongside the river, not a single live flower to see C Em G C Em G This is the one girl who woke up from all that, and now falls asleep next to me Em G Am C But I swear now, every time that I kiss her, she feels her god breathe on her shoulder G It pains me, but I'm sure she's still yours C Em G* She said she wanted a sea burial, not grass and hypodermics to her hips G G I pruned the ivy from your grandmother's tomb C Em G Bb G Bb More tender and careful than the superstitious ripped you from your mothers womb Am In a note I wrote: C G Em "I think too much about the end, but being around it made me feel like I'm coping. Am C Now when I view the cemetery I don't see headstones, G Em I see rows of engraved milk teeth, hungry, waiting for me" Am C G And though I am fearful, I think I just crave the relief. C Em G C Em G Behind the tennis court, alongside the river, paper flower's still a beautiful thing C Em G C Em G This is the one girl who woke up from all that, and now falls asleep next to me Em G Am C But I swear now, every time that I kiss her, she feels her god breathe on her shoulder G It pains me, but I'm sure she's still yours.
