Intro G F#m C#m D
Verse
G F#m C#m D
My bloodhound
baying at your door
G F#m C#m D
The wild grass
G F#m C#m
overlapping your front porch
D G F#m C#m
The sound of scratching claws trimmed short
D G F#m C#m D
Keeps you buttoned up on the floor
C#m D G
And you're reduced to howls
C#m D G
And I'm not there to drown them out
C#m D G
Swallowing up the room
Letting yourself down
verse 2
G F#m C#m D
Darling I'll be fine (The hiccups my mouth emits)
G F#m C#m D
I've left behind my calluses (This solicitude I won't forgive)
G F#m C#m D
I'll be whatever you like (All of this inside my head)
G F#m C#m D
Your seafaring love to the shore
verse 3
G F#m D
When the tide rolled in there was nothing left
G F#m D
But an albatross hanging from my neck
G F#m D
And just as you could not contain the sea
G F#m D
You could not contain me
