And I will go nowhere
That you can find me
F Am
And I will stay there
Em G
Until such time as he
C
Can look into my eyes
Without being terrified
Am G Am
I scare you into sleep?
Em G
I scare myself sometimes
C
And it got lost somewhere
On some forgotten line

I can't remember much
Em G
But when I do, I hide

From all that I've become
And everything I sing

I scare you into sleep?

C
And your smile always tells me
That you know something
G F
Your hair splayed out on the pillow
Am Em G
Like a fire orange warning
C
And we've both had some times
And we've both seen some things
G Am
How strangers dehumanise
Em G
That holy scary struggling
C
Stayed meaningless for the most of it
F
Now holds a lofty place above all that self-destruction shit
'Cos I know
G
(Both)When I hold you I feel everything
Both
C G
And we dance the only dance that I ever learned the steps to
F G
In the closed-in country silence I swear
Em F
I can feel every single inch of you
G
And after that guilty primal fanfare I swear
You never were so beautiful
F G
You taste like milk and cigarettes
F
And that's all that I could ever ask of you
G
Ask of you
C G Am
Ask of you, you, you
F
Ask of you
G
Ask of you
C
Ask of you
F
