Swans – Helpless Child (Guitar)

F#m
Now you be the mother and

C#maj
I'll be your fool

F#m
I'll hide myself deep inside

Dmaj
Your crimson pool

F#m
The muddy water runs

C#maj
Beneath your folds

F#m
You won't let me breathe;

Dmaj
You won't let me go

F#m
Now you'll be the stranger and

C#maj
I'll be the white-skinned son

F#m
You'll blacken my innocence

Dmaj
With sugar and opium

F#m
The children were suffocating

C#maj
Down in your damp cave

F#m
And you were the mother

Dmaj
And I was the sleeping slave

F#m
Protect me from violence

C#maj
Hold me in your cool lips

F#m
You'll drug me with kindness

Dmaj
So I can pretend I exist

F#m
Now you be the only child

C#maj
I'll suck on your breast

F#m
You'll feed me with gasoline

Dmaj
I'll burn my name in your head
