Chords

Well I wanted to make guitar live version, but instead I made this from "Children of God/ World of SKin" (1987) though it's piano. Seems right to me, make it a basis [Verse 1]
Dm                F   Em Dm
The day I was born,

                          F Em      Dm     F Em Dm
your shadow fell across my mother's breast.

                    F   Em Dm
When I opened my eyes,

                    F   Em Dm
you coloured my mind.

                F   Em Dm
Every move I make,

                F   Em Dm
is by your desire.

                F   Em Dm
Every move I make,

                   F   Em Dm
is by your hand only.
[Chorus]
                    F   Em Dm
Now I'm still a child

                    F   Em Dm
now I'm still a child

                    F   Em Dm
now I'm still a child

                     F   Em Dm
but I'm closer to death.
[Verse 2]
                F   Em Dm
Cover me in roses,

                            F   Em Dm
gently touch me while I sleep.

                             F  Em Dm
When I dream I'll dream of drowning

                         F   Em Dm
in a pool of scented blood.
[Chorus]
                    F   Em Dm
Now I'm still a child

                    F   Em Dm
now I'm still a child

                    F   Em Dm
now I'm still a child

                     F   Em Dm
but I'm closer to death.
[Verse 3]
                             F   Em Dm
You said "take this it's yours"

                          F   Em Dm
so I've kept it locked away.

                              F   Em Dm
Now you're curled up beneath me

                          F   Em Dm
in a pool of your own blood.
[Chorus]
                    F   Em Dm
Now I'm still a child

                    F   Em Dm
now I'm still a child

                    F   Em Dm
now I'm still a child

                     F   Em Dm
but I'm closer to death.
